Marocco -Taj Palace Marrakech

With October temperatures down to a balmy 21 degrees, nowhere is easier to reach for out-of-season sun than Marocco. And the new Taj hotel in Marrakesch is the place to put down roots. This pleasure dome fuses a Berber aesthetic with the look of an Indian palace, throwing in a few Venetian and Thai accents for good measure.
The 161 rooms and suites of the hotel are spread across 55 hectares of palm-filles lawns.
