01 · In a sentence

La Mamounia in Avenue Bab Jdid، مراكش 40040, open JuneSeptember.

La Mamounia stands apart as Marrakech's only palace-hotel with over a century of hosting state events and celebrity weddings, featuring 13 acres of private gardens and multiple indoor-outdoor venues within a single property.

Built in 1923, this Art Deco landmark offers couples the rare advantage of hosting ceremonies, receptions, and guest accommodations under one roof, eliminating the logistical complexity typical of destination weddings.

The venue's 4.5-star Google rating reflects its consistent execution of large-scale events for international clientele.

Rating the hair salon only. The hotel decor, smell and furnishings are impeccable and beautifully presented. I booked the hair salon. I expected it to look similar to the hotel in regards to opulence and luxurious style but unfortunately it was very basic looking. It didn’t feel a part of the hotel or feel grand but just a simple salon. The salon’s service and hospitality was excellent. A salon should maintain a feel of pampering and reflect some of the hotel’s high level of decor. Nevertheless the rest of the place was beautiful aesthetically.
