In the hallway an unmistakable Bridget Riley - all colorful zigzag brickwork - is juxtaposed with rows of leather slippers and mirrors, which immediately lend the painting a Moroccan edge. A stunning light sculpture inspired by a hookah pipe and crafted out of meter-long handblown glass vessels by New Zealander Francis Upritchard vies for attention with small studies in carbon and casein donated by sculptor Antony Gormley after he stayed at the hotel.

Saint Laurent suffered dramatic health problems, often retreating to his home in Marrakesh for months to recuperate from nervous and physical exhaustion.

In the most hopeful version of the Administration's strategy, these objectives come together in a virtuous circle--and peace breaks...
...result is nothing like Coxon: discreet, primitive plucking, a change that's part of the charm of the album. Recorded in and around a converted barn near Marrakesh - Albarn did all his vocals outside - there is a languid warmth to this record; the tracks feel like they were laid down in the midday sun. "Inevitably it seeps into the sound of the vocals," says Albarn. "It is a very elemental record, it is informed by the weather and environment it was made in."
