Travel Tuesday: Selman Marrakech

The Moorish-style hotel which is located at the foot of the Atlas mountains includes five private Riads with their own heated pool, 56 rooms/suites, a 12,000 square foot spa and stables that house 16 thoroughbred Arabian Horses. Acclaimed designer Jacques Garcia who designed Hotel Costes (Paris), La Marmounia and the hipster Nomad Hotel in NYC, brings his luxurious exotic aesthetics to the Selman. Architectural details such as mosaics, high arches and columns are complemented by Garcia’s plush interiors and high-voltage palette of rose reds, ochres, lemon yellows and regal purples.
