Take me there: The Delano, Marrakech
Seventeen years after it first made waves on South Beach with the opening of the all-white Philippe Starck-designed Delano, Morgans Hotel Group is bringing a flavour of Miami to the medina with the opening of a sister property in Morocco. The 73-suite Delano Marrakech is an opulent affair, all velvet drapes, marble floors and intricate carvings, in the heart of the Hivernage district. There’s a spa, three pools and a choice of restaurants overseen by Michelin-starred chefs, but the icing on the cake is the Sky Lounge, a rooftop bar with panoramic views across the medina and to the Atlas mountains beyond. Rooms from £198 per night (delanomarrakech.com).
