La Mamounia is a resort for legends. Winston Churchill declared Marrakech the most beautiful place in the world from his room at La Mamounia.

Roosevelt came on Churchill's recommendation; Alfred Hitchcock filmed scenes for The Man Who Knew Too Much; Yves Saint-Laurent, Charlie Chaplin and Francis Ford Coppola holidayed here; so came The Rolling Stones, and Paul McCartney where he composed the song “Mamunia”.
