Tonight we walked around the corner to the legendary La Mamounia., the finest hotel in all of Africa! It stands on the site of a residence that in the 18th century belonged to the son of the sultan Sidi Mohammed. It was a wedding gift given to him by his father... beat that Daddio! Many famous people have stayed there including Winston Churchill, Richard Nixon and most recently Hilary Clinton. It is scheduled to host the upcoming Marrakech Film Festival.
They now have a "Winston Churchill Bar" in the hotel, which my mother and I visited. We made friends with the bar tenders and they gave us free pens and mini leather wallets that say La Mamounia on them... talk about hospitality, these gentlemen were so kind.
You can check out the hotel website below and see how beautiful the hotel is, as these pictures are just of a statue that we thought was slightly scary.... (everything here looks like the dink-dink characters from the movie Space Balls)
