Murano Resort Marrakech

Murano Resort Marrakech

"The opening of the Murano has given the Palmeraie, a sleepy resort area a few miles north of Marrakech’s spirited medina, an injection of European chic. It shares design elements with its sister property in Paris—the restaurant’s claret wool-upholstered chairs, the bar’s plasma screens showing abstract animation—but incorporates the warmth of the Maghreb. Four riads, each with a plunge pool, house 24 suites with smooth tadelekt walls and domed fireplaces. The desert hues throughout the resort are offset by splashes of habanero red—on lounge-chair cushions, lobby lamp shades, pool tiles. Relaxed by day, the Murano morphs into a pulsing nighttime hot spot, one where drinks on the lobby’s long white leather couches precede dinner, followed by a nightcap in the bar, where local DJs and an urban ambience re-create a night in the Marais."
