For those traveling to Marrakech, the former Taj Palace has recently been bought and remodeled by the Blue Bay Group with the opening of the Blue Diamond Sahara Palace. The hotel is located in the Palmeraie area northeast of Marrakech and comes with panoramic views of the Atlas Mountains. It features 89 suites, riads with suites, four gourmet restaurants, a cigar bar, and a tea room. Additional amenities include a fabulous spa with 14 treatment rooms, two traditional Moroccan hammams, a yoga room, and a large swimming pool. We have no reason to doubt that it will be even better than the former Taj Palace.
