Jaaneman is an elegant boutique hotel in the bohemian heart of the Marrakech medina.It is refined oasis of urbane flamboyance and sophistication a stone’s throw away from the timeless bustle of the souks and the vibrant rhythms of the markets.Classical style meets eclectic harmony in a soft symphony of delicate refinement, indulgent comfort and impeccably tailored service.Jaaneman is an Indian word that literally means ‘Soul of Me’ but translates into ‘My love’ or ‘darling’. Swept away in the soft shadows of the ancient city where poetry flickers by candlelight, one can almost hear it whispered.The riad is located in the Dar el Bacha quarter of the old town and a few meters away from the Dar el Bacha palace which was originally built for Marrakech's Pacha, Thami El Glaoui, and his harem. Today, the palace is still in use by the King’s brother and nestles at the heart of a thriving antiques district. Jaaneman offers only 5 individually decorated suites, each with their own loving touch. Art deco flourishes accent the fusion of oriental enchantment and cutting edge design.
All have ensuite marble bathrooms with the finest Italian fittingsEach suites has a name that makes you unwind and dream….LEALE: Meaning “honest and trustworthy” in Italian, the Leale suite comes with its own private courtyard. Tranquillity and reflection dance through the soft trickles of its fountain and a lavish bedroom is complimented by the Italian white marble and dusky Moroccan Tadelakt of the bathroomPARTENOPE: Partenope is the ancient Greek name for Naples, birthplace of the Italian owner and the bedroom is sprinkled with Neapolitan art and furniture throughout. It is a Mediterranean marriage of Italy to Morocco while the spacious bathroom is cast in emerald South American marble and ebony Moroccan tadelakt.NEFELIBATA: Nefelibata literally means “cloud-walker”, one who defies the conventions of society, literature and art to weave an ethereal life through their own imagination. African hints dominate the bedroom and the two walk in dressing rooms while the ensuite bathroom is a fusion of Emperor marble and gleaming chrome fixturesGEMEAUX: Meaning Gemini or the ‘twins’, this opulent suite overlooks the central courtyard.
Its twin windows are wonderfully luminous and deep red accents swirl softly throughout, culminating in the sumptuous red marble bathroom which also boasts a discreet but invigorating skylightHIMA: Hima translates as the secret places that birds repose during a long migration – free from predators and free from danger. The ceiling is frescoed in classical Moroccan style and birdsong flows softly in from the courtyard while the bathroom is polished in granite and tobacco tadelakt.TERRACE:With the snow capped peaks of the Atlas mountains painting the horizon in bold, eternal strokes and the lush greenery of the Dar el Bacha palace so abundant in the foreground, this is one of the finest views in Marrakech.
