La Mamounia stands on Avenue Bab Jdid in Marrakech, in 17 acres of centuries-old gardens planted with olive, orange and palm trees; the land was an 18th-century wedding gift from Sultan Sidi Mohammed. It is a grand hotel in the classic sense, with rooms, suites and three private riads, restaurants led by Jean-Georges Vongerichten and Simone Zanoni, and pools heated to 28°C all year. It suits travellers who want a historic address and large gardens, with the 12th-century Koutoubia mosque in view from some rooms.
Editorial assessmentLa Mamounia is Sikovia's historic grand hotel in Marrakech. It is larger and more social than Royal Mansour, where every guest has a private riad, and closer to the medina than the garden villas of Mandarin Oriental. Choose it for a classic address, big gardens and a lively public life.
