This sublime ten-roomer is a perfect combination of Asian glamour and pedigreed European-style creature comforts. The huge marble or tadlekt bathtubs fill with hot water in under a minute, the assortment of in-room CDs includes both Madonna and Algerian raï singers, the traditional courtyard garden has a marble fountain that trickles into a rose-petal-filled basin, and the second-floor library is stocked with an enviable array of English- and French-language books and magazines. Each room is unique, decorated with exquisite local tiles, handcrafts, and furniture and hung with edgy canvases by contemporary British artists. By year's end, a major expansion will add one of the largest open-air pools in Marrakech, a hammam, and a gym.
