HOTEL REVIEW
© Name
the de rigeur hammam. Just gliding down the steps into the sultry wellness centre, reams of billowing muslin and the scent of orange blossom is experience in itself, assuring the senses of where you are in the world, while the mention of Ila and Guerlain products and vast array of body and beauty treatments from sweet-natured therapists remind you why you’re here. The attention to detail at this luxury Moroccan resort is uncompromising. Palais Namaskar’s logo is beautifully incorporated everywhere from the grand stone entrance, down to the gold embossed guest notebooks. Leather handle details adorn on chairs and chests while vast cupboard spaces speak of long stays and guests with endless wardrobe options, and private butlers are on hand and all too happy to help unpack. Simmons mattresses are clad in crisp Porthault linens, and three different Drouault pillows
are offered for every guest. Scrutinise the touches in the public spaces and you’ll notice the crockery is bespoke Bernardeau, and silverware by Christofle. Find your way to the roof terrace for a cocktail at sunset and you’ll pass a whole floor of white crystal rocks. Finally, at the chic rooftop bar you have Mother Nature to thank for the wow-inducing desert and Atlas Mountain views. With all the major luxury hotel groups such
as Four Seasons and Taj now represented in these parts, Palais Namaskar still manages to pull off an extraordinary proposition, even for fans of Royal Mansour and Aman hotels: an intimate, individual boutique hotel which eschews corporate branding and never shirks when it comes to quality. Thanks to inspiring architecture, extravagant interior design and flawless five-star service, even the most discerning and fashionable Parisians will find it hard not to be awestruck.
