Jonathan Wix, creator of 42 The Calls in Leeds, the Scotsman in Edinburgh, and Hotel de la Tremoille in Paris, is returning to the hotel industry with a new property in Morocco.
Wix, opened Riad Farnatchi in the heart of the oldest part of Marrakech earlier this month.
Room rates at the five-suite hotel, which has been created from three small former residences, range from about £180 to £270 a night, and the whole hotel can be rented for between £945 and £1,175 a night.
The hotel took two years to complete and is the first of several projects Wix is working on in Morocco.
