One Bedroom Royal Suite

This is where the Moorish language used everywhere else drops away, and something quieter and much grander takes its place. A painted timber-beamed ceiling runs the length of the reception room over a pale marble floor; a long banquette and a sofa sit round a low table on a Persian rug; and through an open partition at the end is a dining room for 8 — an inlaid table on a carved base, high-backed chairs, gold mashrabiya panels on 3 walls and a cluster of pierced brass globes hanging over it. There is a welcome lounge before you reach any of it, a kitchen behind the dining room, and the bedroom is a separate wing with a study, a dressing room and its own bathroom.
