Walking into La Mamounia verges on a religious experience for those who genuflect at the altar of high-end hotels.
50 Best, September 2024The legendary hotel recently celebrated 100 years, and its next century is looking bright, thanks to a recent refurb that spruced up public spaces while adding a 20-seat cinema, a semi-secret wine bar, and a South Asian restaurant from chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten.
Travel + Leisure, July 2024Think of La Mamounia as a Moroccan fantasy made real, a too-much-is-never-enough maximalist fever dream that just underwent another refresh during the pandemic.
Robb Report, July 2024What truly sets La Mamounia apart is its legacy as a confluence of luxury, history, and Moroccan allure. Beyond a mere hotel, it’s an epic voyage—traversing eras of timeless elegance and contemporary grandeur.
Fodor's Travel, January 2024Light and food are a constant theme. At dusk, tall, freestanding red lanterns guide you through the scented gardens to the different seating and restaurant areas. It's magical.
Financial Times, November 2020Perhaps it's the mix of French, Arabic, and English spoken in hushed tones, or the soaring coffered ceilings, or just the colonial richness that makes the bar at La Mamounia one of the sexiest drinking spots in the world.

A Dream in Positano
Le Sirenuse offers a front-row seat to the beauty and pleasures of Positano and the Amalfi Coast. As John Steinbeck observed during his 1953 visit, “Positano bites deep. It is a dream place that isn’t quite real when you are there and becomes beckoningly real after you have gone.” That dreamlike quality lives on at Le Sirenuse, where light, sea, and sky weave an unforgettable spell.
Rooms Bathed in Mediterranean Light
Each of the 58 rooms and suites is a luminous retreat, designed to reflect the brilliance of the Mediterranean. Whitewashed walls and ceilings—many with traditional cross-vaulted curves—are repainted each winter, ensuring a fresh canvas for every season. Crisp linens and soft cotton curtains filter the sunlight, creating spaces that feel serene, spotless, and timeless.
A Celebration of the Dolce Vita
In southern Italy, dining is more than a pleasure—it is a ritual. At Le Sirenuse, four restaurants embody this belief, offering settings as enchanting as the cuisine itself. Whether under jasmine-scented skies at lunch or as dusk paints the horizon in shades of violet and gold, every meal is a celebration of flavor, mood, and conviviality.
Wellness as a Way of Life
Here, wellbeing is woven into daily life. Guests can indulge in rejuvenating spa treatments, savor fresh seasonal Mediterranean dishes, or take part in the resort’s twice-yearly mountain fitness retreats. The swimming pool—an elegant work of art in itself—invites both relaxation and reflection. At Le Sirenuse, wellness is not simply a practice but a philosophy, one that nourishes body and soul alike.

Hotels Own Introduction
Step into a world where history, art, and the Italian dolce vita come together in perfect harmony. At La Posta Vecchia, guests are invited to immerse themselves in a setting rich with antiquities, where every corner tells a story of centuries past. Once a favored seaside retreat of Roman emperors, later transformed into a grand Renaissance villa for the noble Orsini family, and in the 1960s, the private sanctuary of Jean Paul Getty, this extraordinary estate is a living testament to Italy’s storied heritage.
Savor the moment on our sun-drenched terrace and indulge in an unforgettable culinary experience at The Cesar, our renowned restaurant in Palo Laziale. Here, authentic Italian flavors are reimagined with contemporary artistry, featuring only the freshest local ingredients. Our chef and his team invite you on a gastronomic journey from ancient Rome to the present day, paired with an exquisite selection of wines from Lazio and beyond.
Beyond the table, La Posta Vecchia offers a serene escape with a Beach Club, an indoor swimming pool, a tranquil Beauty Club, and a wealth of outdoor activities.

An Intimate Oasis in the Heart of Marrakech
L’Hôtel Marrakech, a privately-owned riad, is nestled in the heart of the Medina, just moments from the vibrant Jemaa El Fna square, the bustling souk, and the historic 12th-century Koutoubia Mosque. This enchanting 19th-century riad, once part of a grand Caidal palace, features six spacious suites set around a rare and expansive courtyard garden, complete with a serene swimming pool.
A Charming Retreat with a Personal Touch
Owned by Jasper Conran, L’Hôtel Marrakech beautifully blends exquisite Moroccan craftsmanship with antique furniture, textiles, and art from Conran’s personal collection, creating a space that feels more like an elegant home than a hotel. With a focus on comfort, superb service, and understated elegance, the riad captures the charm of 1930s-era hotels.
A Celebration of Traditional Moroccan Cuisine
L’Hôtel takes pride in serving traditional Moroccan home cooking with the warmth and authenticity of ‘cucina della nonna’ (grandmother’s cooking). The focus is on fresh, local ingredients, attentive service, and a relaxed dining experience. The diverse menus highlight the rich flavors of Moroccan cuisine, with an emphasis on vegetarian dishes like vibrant salads and delicately spiced vegetable creations. Dining at L’Hôtel, whether as a guest or non-resident*, is a memorable experience that celebrates the soulful and seductive nature of Moroccan food.
