All these spaces open onto the main terrace and the gardens. As we follow the seguia, or irrigation channel, lined by palms that mark the main perspective, we discover cosy lounges and a semi Olympic pool. Upstairs, the Moroccan library with its deep, warm tones, offers a confidential space around its inlaid wooden fireplace. It opens onto a terrace overlooking the gardens. It is adjoined by a study that can be privatis ed. On the same floor, there is also a boardroom decorated in tawny tones. A soothing and comfortable space, where the latest technologies are present, but discreetly hidden behind the panelling or in our lacquered cabinet “The Cabinet of Hours”. The 10 suites are inspired by the seasonal colour codes that Zyriab had set for the art of wearing clothes. Spring and pastel colours evoking renewal, with summer being made up of white and sunny colours. The atmosphere is a hymn to shade and light, so typical of Morocco, through the effects of light coming through the lighting fixtures made of laser-cut leather or leather lacing, and vertical wooden trellises. Berber Necklace, an artistic composition of silk thread and framed embroidery dot the white walls of the suites. The bathroom combines whiteness and the taupe tones of natural stone, which become a piece or art engraved above the bathtub. Each suite has its own garden or terrace overlooking the hotel’s beautiful protected garden. North of the garden, a private villa, The Residence, offers a unique experience with its 500 square meters of indoor and outdoor spaces. Private garden and swimming pool, outdoor lounge, living room, dining room and upstairs a prestigious suite with steam room and private treatment room make it an exceptional place. Finally, the spa offers a fitness room that opens directly onto the pool and gardens, a hair salon and two treatment suites. A world bathed in powdered orange and black and lit by flares to provide a timeless moment dedicated to well-being.
