More Luxury In Africa
Luxury hotels have been popping up in Marrakesh at a rapid clip. Angsana Riads Collection Morocco (doubles from $176) launched several riads in the ancient medina in 2008 and has three new ones on the way. The Mandarin Oriental, Jnan Rahma (866/526-6567; mandarinoriental.com; doubles from $768), in a palm grove in the shadow of the Atlas Mountains, opens this summer. Also in 2009, La Mamounia, recently renovated by designer Jacques Garcia, will reopen after nearly three years, complete with a traditional Moroccan hammam.—David Farley, Shane Mitchell, and Hannah Wallace
