Artful Escapes: Jnane Rumi
Guests can unwind while browsing the estate's collection of contemporary works or in the marble-clad hammam
Art flows through every inch of the newly opened Jnane Rumi, just a five-minute drive from the heart of Marrakech’s medina. Found throughout the main house (originally designed by famous Tunisian architect Charles Boccara), three garden pavilions, and seven suites, it also swathes the walls as frescoes by Italian painter Roberto Ruspoli, hangs as hand-appliquéd tapestries by Louis Barthélemy, and covers the ceilings as hand-painted decorative zouak and alfarje.
Guests can browse the estate’s collection of contemporary works by talents with ties to North Africa, unwind in the marble-clad hammam, and dine on inventive Moroccan-meets- modern-French dishes developed by Dutch chef Karin Gaasterland.
