Essaouira, Morocco[view map]
- Style
- Parisian apartment
- Setting
- Ocean-view ramparts
With a built-in wooden bookshelf acting as reception desk, hotel shop and concierge, Madada feels more like an enormous private Parisian apartment. Five of the tadelakt bedrooms are off the central sand-coloured salon, with a staircase leading to two more. The uninterrupted sea views of the upstairs rooms must be the best in Essaouira.
