The Rates at La Mamounia Marrakech

"While there have been complaints—for example, the food is overpriced and, despite those fancy chefs, can be underwhelming—it's still early days in this legend's comeback"

"Otherwise, prices start at "only" 5,600 DH for a classic room (breakfast is an additional 350 DH per person)"

"Several wholly elegant flutes of champagne and half a dozen lobby-pianist cover-songs later, we slinked into Mamounia’s Baroque interior Italian restaurant for a pricey yet perfect feast of spaghetti don alfonso, langoustines, zucchini ravioli and slices of sweet chocolate pizza"

"Set in palatial grounds, this is Marrakesh’s most famous hotel, and its most expensive, with an emphasis on opulence and exclusivity"

"Their names are unimaginatively titled Le Francais, L'Italien and Le Marocain, but their pricey menus are deceptively ornate and delicious"
