Swiss designer Romain Michel Meniere's with some help of his longtime friends, Studio KO's Karl Fournier and Oliver Marty?-?and Paris based landscape designer Arnaud Casaus. Romain is ably supported in this project by his muse and client Philomena Schurer; she is the owner of Riad Mena, a well-known small boutique hotel in the medina of Marrakech for which Romain did the interior design. After over a decade in Morocco working as an interior designer on many of Marrakech's most popular hotspots, Michel Meniere decided to open his own hotel, showcasing his passion for mixing local architecture with tasteful interiors and a modern take on traditional cuisine. A scenic drive from Marrakech, along untouched Moroccan countryside and local villages, gravel filled paths lead you to Berber Lodge, a newly opened hotel nestled at the foothills of the Atlas Mountains. Traditional Berber building techniques, earth bricks and palm tree ceilings combine with country chic interiors, are laid out in a Berber village style over two acres of centenary olive trees, to create this nine lodge hotel.
