La Mamounia, Morocco
La Mamounia is probably the most famous hotel in North Africa, immortalised by Winston Churchill, who spent many an hour in front of his easel, trying to capture views of the distant Atlas Mountains. The hotel has 57 opulent suites and 171 de luxe guest rooms, several restaurants, a gorgeous outdoor pool and a casino. The hotel’s gardens alone are well worth a visit: 17 wonderful acres of olives and oranges, palms and peacefulness, created as a wedding present from a sultan to his son.
