Owned and managed by the Moroccan family, Bennani-Smires, this authentic Arabian-Moorish Palace sits within beautiful landscaped grounds with fantastic views to the Atlas mountains.
The interior design of the hotel is the work of Jacques Garcia who has created an eclectic mix of oriental and Moroccan styles. The spacious rooms and lofty public spaces feature studded furniture and suede covered walls which sit, somehow perfectly, with lavishly embroidered textiles and millions of handcrafted zellige mosaic tiles.
One feels cocooned here, while benefiting from the vast terraces and magnificent views across the gardens, the pool and the Atlas Mountains, punctuated by the glorious sight of horses galloping near the Andalusian Pavilion.
Romantic residences par excellence, these spacious Riads are peaceful, set away from the hotel, and play up the sense of Oriental sensuality as masterfully executed by decorator, Jacques Garcia. Each entrance leads to a central fountain and patio which opens onto a living room enclosed by embroidered curtains. Hung with fabrics, the lounge is a voluptuously hedonistic setting. Ranging in size from 580 m² to 700 m², each has a private garden and a 15sqm pool bordered by bougainvillea. Intimate and luxurious, they invite travellers to indulge and your Riad experience will be further enhanced by the 24-hour services of your personal butler.
