La Mamounia Named the Best City Hotel in North Africa and the Middle East

La Mamounia, the legendary Marrakech palace, was named the Best City Hotel in North Africa and the Middle East for 2026 in the Travel and Leisure World's Best Awards, and it appeared on The World's 50 Best Hotels 2025. A member of Leading Hotels of the World, the hotel remains the definitive luxury address in the Red City.

Set within centuries-old gardens and blending Moorish and Art Deco design, La Mamounia offers six restaurants spanning Moroccan, Italian, and Asian cuisine, including venues shaped by celebrated international chefs. Its 2,500-square-meter spa is built around traditional hammams, with a heated indoor pool and more than 80 treatments.

Marrakech has drawn artists, writers, and royalty for a century, and La Mamounia has hosted many of them, from Winston Churchill onward. Its gardens, dining, and spa keep it among the most romantic hotels in the world.
