Today, we enjoyed our day at the SELMAN, a somptuous 5 stars hotel in Marrakesh,

I read in the Financial Times that this hotel was a must see, experience and I also found out that the person whom founded this modern Palace in Marrakech. was one of my my Brother Philippe Ligron ‘s student at the École Hoteliere de Lausanne in Switzerland.

The dining room of The Selman Hotel, Marrakech, designed by Jacques Garcia

My lunch: I ordered Cotes d’agneau and my husband Sea bass and 2 expressos. It was delicious

In the middle of the hotel a record-breaking axial pool of 80-meters fringed by palm trees brings coolness to the grounds and around it, you can see some beautiful Arab horses running around, a little girl actually told her parents* -”it is better than Word Disney here!”

 

Miss Beauty

This pure-breed beauty born in the USA, actually won the best price of beauty in Paris this year!

 

This reminds me of my visit in the Royal Stables of Sheik Mohammed al Makoum in Dubai as his guest, March 2010. see: http://inesligron.com/blogroll/dubai-sweet-memories.html

 

The exteriors are pure redbrick grandeur, while inside Second Empire elegance meets le chic d’Afrique in the form of Napoléon III–inspired chairs, ebony-stained plasterwork, and antique carpets.

From $530/night

I strongly recommend you to stay, or visit over lunch or dinner at this unique modern-palace!

and… the SPA is to die for!
