Tasteful and tranquil, Palais Oumensour hides away on a medina lane by the Catholic church garden. Above the central courtyard with its jade pool, the 10 understated rooms combine modern comforts and traditional materials, with prints from French painter Georges Braque and tadelakt (waterproof plaster) walls. Elegant public spaces include a hammam, a massage room, a roof terrace with High Atlas views and a bar.
