Snapshot :: Hotel La Mamounia, Closed But Still Pretty To Look At

Where: Avenue Bab Jdid , Marrakech, Morocco, 40 000

Thanks to Nester_Larabaeza for dropping this snapshot of the Hotel La Mamounia in the HotelChatter Flickr Pool.

The Marrakech hotel first opened in 1922 but in 2001 the rooms got a complete upgrade thus "combining a true Moroccan ambiance with every 21st-century convenience."

However, that wasn't enough. The hotel closed down in July 2006 for a major renovation. Judging from some recent reviews it looks like the facelift was very necessary. The hotel will reopen sometime this year.
