Suite (PARK)

The Park Suite is a garden-view suite, so it looks over La Mamounia's grounds rather than the street. The gardens cover roughly 8 hectares of olive trees, citrus groves and rose beds, and guests can walk them 24 hours a day. It suits anyone who wants the hotel's best-known feature right outside the window.

The suite has 1 king bed dressed in premium bedding, with blackout drapes for undisturbed sleep. It sleeps up to four guests, and a rollaway or extra bed can be added for a surcharge. This works well for a couple travelling with children or friends sharing.

The private bathroom has a deep soaking bathtub and a separate roll-in shower, a bidet and a hair dryer. You also get bathrobes, slippers, towels and designer toiletries. Housekeeping offers turndown service in the evening.

Yes. La Mamounia welcomes children of all ages when they are accompanied by an adult. Children aged 4 to 12 receive a 50% discount in the restaurants, and the municipal tax does not apply to under-12s. The outdoor pool is heated to 28°C. The indoor spa pool is for guests aged 18 and over, or 16 with an adult, so younger children use the outdoor pool and the gardens.

The Spa La Mamounia covers about 2,500 square metres. It has traditional hammams, a heated indoor pool, a jacuzzi and more than 80 treatments, and it is open from 9 am to 9 pm. The hotel also has tennis and padel courts, table tennis, a boules pitch, garden paths for walking and jogging, and a gym that opens from 7 am to 8 pm.

The hotel has L'Italien, L'Asiatique and Le Marocain. Le Pavillon de la Piscine is a shaded terrace by the pool serving breakfast and lunch. There are four bars: Le Bar Majorelle, Le Club, Le Bar de la Piscine and Le Churchill. Pierre Hermé tea rooms include Le Menzeh in the gardens. An elegant dress code applies in the restaurants and bars, and flip-flops are not permitted.

Check-in is from 15:00 and check-out is until 12:00 (noon). The primary guest must be at least 18 and should carry valid photo ID such as a passport or driving licence. A valid credit card is required to book. The hotel accepts cash and Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Diners Club, but not cheques.

Marrakech-Menara airport is about 10 minutes by car, and the hotel offers private transfers through the concierge. On foot, the Koutoubia Mosque is about 10 minutes away and Jemaa el-Fna about 15 minutes. Marrakech is inland, so for the coast the usual day trip is Essaouira, around 2.5 to 3 hours away.
