Specialists in luxury travel and lifestyle communications, The Brandman Agency is delighted to be appointed the public relations representatives, in the UK and Ireland, for La Mamounia – one of the world's most luxurious hotels.
Located in the heart of Marrakech, Morocco, just a stone's throw from the famous Jamaa El Fna Square, this legendary hotel first opened its doors in 1923 and has long hosted the “who's who” of international royalty, politicians, celebrities and the jet set. Steeped in history, symbolic of traditional Moroccan hospitality and a classic example of the great age of grand hotels, La Mamounia is globally regarded as one of the most notable and desirable hotels in the world. Skilfully blending heritage and modernity, it embodies the sensory splendours of exotic Marrakech.
La Mamounia stands in a tranquil 17-acre park facing the Atlas Mountains, providing a haven of luxury and elegance amidst the bustling market city; yet it is ideally located within a few minutes' stroll of the famous souks, 12th Century Koutoubia Mosque and the city walls. The luxurious garden boasts 100-year old olive trees and an abundance of fragrant flowers, and was once described by Winston Churchill – a regular visitor to the hotel – as 'the most lovely spot in the whole world'.
Following an extensive restoration project led by internationally acclaimed interior designer, Jacques Garcia, La Mamounia reopened in September 2009 with 135 stylish guest rooms and 71 suites, including six Signature Suites. In addition, the three magnificent Riads – each with three en-suite bedrooms and spread over 700 square metres – lie within the gardens and include a private terrace and ozone swimming pool.
The four restaurants, including the two Michelin star L'Italien, combine lifestyle and gastronomy, and include French, Italian, Mediterranean and Moroccan cuisine. There are also a further five bars to suit all tastes; while for relaxation and pampering, the hotel's 2,500 square metre spa – widely referred to as 'the best spa in Morocco' – features 10 treatment rooms, two traditional Hammams, a fitness studio and a superb indoor ozone swimming pool.
Epitomising the authentic spirit of Morocco, La Mamounia continues to enchant and captivate guests today with a sense of opulent luxury coupled with impeccable comfort and style.
This appointment follows The Brandman Agency's arrival into the UK in February 2016, when the company merged with London-based agency, Beth Cooper PR. The agency's flagship office in New York also manages the public relations campaign for La Mamounia in the North American market, following their appointment in 2009.
La Mamounia received the 'Best Hotel in the World Reader's Choice Award' and the 'Best Hotel Middle East and Africa Readers' Choice Award' in the highly respected Condé Nast Traveller Awards 2015
