La Mamounia Hotel Marrakesh, Morocco

Hotel Mamounia is a Marrakech resort where old and new come together. The renovation of this former palace took 3 years and was managed by the celebrated Interiors & Garden Designer Jacques Garcia.  This French designer  is known for its design of Hotel Costes, Costes restaurants, Hotel Majestic, the redecoration of Hôtel Odéon Saint Germain and many more. His mix of colors, luxurious fabrics, cultural heritage  and artisanal objects is characteristic for his Paris chic style.

From the photo's and texts of Hotel Mamounia's site I could see that Garcia spent a lot of time and efforts  in  maintaining the heritage of this Moorish architectural marvel and added the best of its local craftsmanship to it. The hotel is accommodated with suites, exclusive suites and a riad. The letter one I liked the most and the second best in my opinion is the Prestige Suite. The reason for this top 2 is that the interiors of these luxurious accommodations are quite sober for its Arabic taste and probably that of Monsieur Garcia. This 'soberness' facilitates the beauty of Mamounia's architecture and the local craftsmanship in plastering| tiling | woodworking.

Mamounia is set in a beautiful garden that feeds the daily need in herbs and greens of the hotel restaurants, where every detail of its interiors matches with the former French colonial vibes of this luxurious resort.
