The lobby of Royal Mansour Marrakech follows the design of a traditional Moroccan house with an open-air courtyard around a pool of water. It is also guests' first experience with the incredible hand-done tile work throughout the hotel. Impressively lit with "floating" rings of lights, it is a serene and elegant entrance. At night and in cooler weather, the temperature of the space is controlled by a "ceiling of air" so that the roof can remain open. (Courtesy The Royal Mansour Marrakech)
