The travel season is approaching. We have selected for you the best hotels in Africa:
1- La Mamounia, Marrakech, Morocco
The history of La Mamounia dates back to the 18th century when the Alaouite Sultan Sidi Mohammed Ben Abdallah offered a sumptuous 13-hectare orchard as a wedding gift to his son, Prince Al Mamoun, who turned it into a place of pleasure for garden parties of anthology.
The fame of Marrakech and the Mamounia attracts the great names of the cinema who come there to shoot films that remain cult such as “The Man Who Knew Too Much” by Alfred Hitchcock, several scenes of which were shot at the hotel.
All the jet-set bohemian of the 70’s took up residence in Marrakech and the biggest rock bands of the time put their suitcases in La Mamounia. The Rolling Stones took a break there in 1968 while Paul McCartney composed the song “Mamunia” in 1973.
