The second residential or commercial property coming from the crew responsible for the Royal Mansour Marrakech-- which, given that opening up in 2010, has dazzled site visitors everywhere with its no-expenses-spared sense of spacious high-end-- the brand new accommodation is quite virtually suitable for a king.
