Hyatt Regency Johannesburg

Hyatt Regency Johannesburg

While foreign visitors know all about South Africa’s colonial-era charms, its mansion-style boutiques and classic old grand hotels, fewer seem to be aware of Johannesburg’s modern side — this is the de facto capital of sub-saharan Africa, and a global style center in its own right. So it should c...
Kensington Place

Kensington Place

Just outside Cape Town proper, in Higgovale, a quiet enclave overlooking the city from the foothills of Table Mountain, Kensington Place is about as intimate as they come — just eight suites, in a magazine-ready contemporary-luxe style, with all the bells and whistles, including sprawling king be...
Ksar Char-Bagh

Ksar Char-Bagh

Just fifteen minutes outside of Marrakech is an upscale district called the Palmeraie, a thousand-year-old palm-grove oasis in the midst of a dry desert landscape straight out of The Sheltering Sky. It is here that Marrakech's new breed of mini-palace hotels has sprung up — of w...
L' Heure Bleue

L' Heure Bleue

If Marrakech is a city that never sleeps — chaotic, colorful, romantic, and cramped — then Essaouira is a seaside town that would rather take a leisurely siesta in a hand-woven hammock. The old-fashioned port city has long drawn surfers to its stunning Atlantic beaches and the occasional guideboo...
La Mamounia

La Mamounia

La Mamounia is closed for a major renovation under the direction of noted designer, Jacques Garcia. It will re-open in the spring of 2009. Thanks to a massive makeover in the eighties, La Mamounia is more fantasy than ever before: huge and bright and excessive, a glittering combinatio...
La Sultana Marrakech

La Sultana Marrakech

You can only make a riad hotel so big. But if you’re stuck for size, you can join them together — La Sultana, for example, combines four traditional Marrakchi courtyard mansions into one contiguous complex, and in so doing creates one of the medina’s most complete luxury hotels. In some towns 18 ...
LAICO L'amitie Bamako Hotel

LAICO L'amitie Bamako Hotel

Mali is a destination perhaps best known to the adventure holiday crowd who are in search of something other than a safari in Africa. The streets of the capital city of Bamako are filled with traders, noise and motorbikes, all surrounded by some unusual architecture and some striking landscapes. ...
Le Riad Monceau

Le Riad Monceau

Le Riad Monceau would be little more than another perfectly lovely riad hotel, if it weren’t for the creative touch of its owner. Hotelier and artist Isabelle Aubry has a keen eye for Islamic patterns and Moorish textures and exhibits her bold, colorful embroidery works throughout this intimate h...
Londolozi Private Game Reserve

Londolozi Private Game Reserve

Here’s a safari camp that sets out in the direction of high luxury and never looks back. At Londolozi Private Game Reserve it’s about making the bush experience as stylish and comfortable as is humanly possible. To begin with, Londolozi’s physical location is about as auspicious as it gets. It’s ...
Naoura Barriere

Naoura Barriere

If ever there’s a hotel scene that could stand some shaking up, it’s Marrakech. Here your choices are pretty strictly limited: a tiny riad in the medina, a sprawling resort in the Palmeraïe, or the very rare luxury hotel that’s neither one nor the other. In this town a city-center luxury boutique...
Riad 72

Riad 72

Tucked away on one of Marrakech’s winding side streets, Riad 72 is a pint-sized modernist haven offering a bit of Italian style, courtesy of its Milanese owner. Originally a palace, this harmonious retreat is filled with rich red fabrics accenting plush white floor cushions, glowing candles flick...
Riad Anayela

Riad Anayela

When you’re shopping for a riad hotel you can go for the pared-down and unpretentious, just a mellow slice of Moroccan life. Or you can go all-out epic Marrakech romance, and book in at AnaYela. There are probably places you can go if you want a bit of humble, down-to-earth traditional Moroccan e...
Riad Dar One

Riad Dar One

Numbers are important in certain areas of life but they’re close to useless in selecting a riad hotel. Five rooms, ten rooms, what’s the difference? These places are so much more about personality than anything else — and in the case of Riad Dar One it wouldn’t be a stretch to say that that perso...
Riad Dixneuf La Ksour

Riad Dixneuf La Ksour

By and large the hoteliers of Marrakech are a pretty traditional lot, at least aesthetically. The riad hotels in particular are, almost without exception, outfitted in varying shades of classic Arabian style. So a place like Riad Dixneuf La Ksour, while hardly avant-garde in its design, stands ou...
Riad Due

Riad Due

The numerically-minded Italian proprietors of the small and luxurious Riad 72 are back with something of a sequel, Riad Due. And despite the name’s thirty-sixfold reduction — due being Italian for two, of course — it’s nearly identical in size, just four exceedingly stylish little suites...
Riad Fes

Riad Fes

Marrakech has convenience and accessibility going for it, but if you want to see the ancient side of Morocco, you want to see Fez. And if you’re staying in Fez, you want to stay in a riad — and this one, Riad Fès, is among the best of them. We’ve got nothing against riads owned by fore...
