The next Mandarin Oriental to launch in May 2010 will be located among 53 hectares of palm grove in the Palmeraie region of Marrakech.
Boasting views of the Atlas Mountains, the property's architecture has been modelled on traditional palaces with design features including palm and olive trees, willows, swimming pools and fountains.
Based around traditional Moroccan custom, the hotel will feature four riads - self contained buildings - featuring between 16 to 20 guest bedrooms arranged around an interior courtyard.
The 40,903sq ft (3,800sq m) Spa at Mandarin Oriental Jnan Rahma will offer a range of signature Mandarin Oriental therapies as well as a number of especially developed therapies inspired by local traditions and customs.
An extensive hammam will also be a part of the spa offering, as well as a number of water therapies.Details: mandarinoriental.com
