Walking into La Mamounia verges on a religious experience for those who genuflect at the altar of high-end hotels. Since its 1923 opening, it has been renowned as one of the world’s finest, leading in high design, ultra-luxe interiors and best-in-class hospitality – qualities that ensured it was named The Best Hotel in Africa 2023. To celebrate its 100th year, the hotel’s timeless-yet-modern blueprint received a renovation by Parisian architects Patrick Jouin and Sanjit Manku. The site dates back to the 18th century, when the son of Sultan Mohammed Ben Abdallah transformed its fragrant grounds – a visual cacophony of wild olive and orange trees, cacti, palms and bougainvillea – into a venue for lavish garden parties
