Vintage Magazine Has A Love Affair With La Mamounia

Where: Avenue Bab Jdid, Marrakech, Morocco, 40 040

Vintage magazine recently spent six whole pages doting on Marrakech's $500-per-night legendary celebrity haunt, La Mamounia (if you remember, La Mamounia celebrated an extensive €180 million—that's almost $300 million USD—renovation exactly two years ago).

Full of wide-eyed praise for the hotel, the article uses its trademark scrapbook-y design and huge, glossy photos to bring you right inside the ninety-year-old Morroccan architectural masterpiece. Here is a little of what the writer, Kate Winick, had to say:

"The attention to detail borders on comical: the nail-heads studding the side of each upholstered chair don't simply terminate, they blossom into a flower; the art isn't just beautiful, it was commissioned from a series of North African artists capturing the hotel and the city in totally new ways; the bread isn't just baked fresh, your waiter will pause, note out loud that one piece is shaped like a heart, and present it to the lady at the head of your table with a flourish."
