2 PALAIS NAMASKAR A PLACE LIKE NO OTHER Bringing together acres of tranquillity and impeccable hospitality to create the most enigmatic 5-star hotel retreat in Marrakech, Palais Namaskar is exclusively designed and built around consummate guest satisfaction. A harmony of timeless elegance and extravagant personal space with exceptional views of mountains, lakes and scented gardens all enlivened by a vibrant décor infused with Feng Shui energies. Palais Namaskar hosts a total of 41 suites, villas and palaces. Some of these are ideal for families and small groups, and all are perfect for special moments and unforgettable escapes. In the pages which follow, you will find a pictorial tour of our extraordinary villas and palaces. We take this opportunity to introduce you to the charms of Marrakech, and to some of the Feng Shui principles which underpin our guest experience. We also present Le Spa Namaskar, as well as our excellent restaurants and bars, and conclude with an inspiring list of ideas for exciting recreational activities during your stay in Morocco.

4 Feng Shui principles enhance the holistic guest experience at Palais Namaskar. All aspects of design, landscaping and interiors are intended to reinforce positive energy flows while enveloping guests in an aura of harmony, nature and calm. In the bedrooms for example, there are no mirrors near the beds, no chandeliers above and no doors in front of the beds, and no windows or bed-frames behind guest heads when they sleep. Similarly in the gardens there are no plants with spiky or thorny leaves, while water flows across the entire Palais Namaskar landscape have been expertly designed to channel positive forces. All materials coming into contact with the body have been specially sourced in accordance with Feng Shui. Bed-sheets are made from special 600-count cotton and the mattress carefully chosen from more than 20 different models. FENG SHUI AN ABUNDANCE OF POSITIVE ENERGIES

21 Marrakech has greeted guests with a distinctive welcome throughout the centuries. Once known as the Pearl of the South, this small town was founded in the 11th century by the Almoravids. The name comes from the Berber language and is a combination of mur which means country, and akush which means land of God. Travelling to the medina (the historic centre of the city) is like journeying back in time. Marrakech hosts the largest souk (traditional market) in Morocco, and its Jemaa el-fnaa is not only one of the busiest squares in the world but also a UNESCO World Heritage Site an almost forgotten world of storytellers, street performers, magicians and snake charmers. Visit one of the famous riads (indoor gardens) where you can enjoy an afternoon tea on a panoramic terrace and then leave the bustling marketplaces for the Saadian Tombs, where Andalusian gardens offer tranquil moments amidst the elegance of Al Mansour s minaret. Or you may journey to the exquisite Majorelle Garden and decide to conclude your day s travels at the Menara. Finally you will return to the red city, having reconciled Marrakech s glorious past with its engaging contemporary appeal. You may then turn towards Gueliz, a prominent district featuring modern shops, fine restaurants and a trendy nightlife. A gem polished by history and one with many facets, Marrakech s beguiling charm is irresistible. You are sure to leave this city with endearing memories and a desire to return.
