Parisian designer Jacques Garcia recently restored Marrakech’s undisputed ‘grande dame’ hotel, originally established in 1923. With millions of hand-cut tiles and wood-marquetry walls, the palace is once again a vibrant celebration of the city’s past, present, and future, displaying Moroccan style, complete with intricate patterns and arabesques based on Berber and Arab-Andalusian traditions.

Inspired by an intoxicating blend of Moroccan and Eastern culture, the 27,000 sq. ft. Spa La Mamounia beautifully fuses the traditional with the modern. Over 80 treatments are offered, including a full line of luxury face and body treatments by Amala Beauty. The Spa features a large indoor heated pool, Jacuzzi, 9 treatment rooms, 6 outdoor massage cabins, a gym, 2 Hammams, a shimmering outdoor ozone pool, and a spa suite.
