Marrakech images

Our gas bottles arriving by donkey... the only way to do it

Me looking ravishing & gorgeous - who says the British have no style !!

We will build it ourselves...

The glass shows what happens when you try to change the shape of huge toughened glass doors ! The rusty metal shows what happens if the builder forgets to rustproof the iron before he makes the railings!

So, here is the senior, management, executive, VIP team hard at work...

Yet another ...glossy Sunday Times Travel magazine

And again...this one i found whilst flicking through the magazine at the hairdressers! Nice surprise...

"Sex up your city break

If you'd rather cure urban fatigue by retreating to your room, there's good news from Barcelona & Marrakech.
In the latter, curved walls & specially commissioned paintings make for a super-sophicticated place to hole up at maison mk (with the bonus of the North African climate). Make the most of it with a dip in the round pool, hemmed by slinky banquettes or cosy up round the fire at night on the roof terrace. "

And another article...Sunday Times

Neofile section - sunday travel magazine 

"Marrakech's sensory overload can make anyone feel disorientated, but there'll be no let up in the weirdness at maison mk (www.maisonmk.com), a riad opening on Jan 1. It's owner, photographer Paul Hopkins, has gone for an 'organic' design - walls curve into floors and ceilings, and the pool grows out of the ground. If it gets a bit much, retreat to the spa for its signature massage...in complete darkness. Come to think of it, that might make things worse."

Bit of a strange one this, but they say all publicity is good publicity...so lets just put it down to a slightly strange journalistic style of writing...

Another article... Tatler

More good news - we are in the January Tatler magazine. In the "101 best hotels , coming soon" section...

"It's all go in Marrakech...new riad maison mk will have six smooth suites with curvy walls..."
