When Virgin founder Richard Branson turns a dream into reality, money can be no object and the result is intoxicating. When renovating the Kasbah in Marrakech, it took more than seven years for the rich ornamentation, precious fabrics, works of art, and fine antiques to develop their overwhelming effect. In addition to the 18 rooms and suites, there are now nine exquisitely furnished Berber tents set up in the extensive gardens. You reside in them like a Berber prince, just a five-minute walk removed from the main building.
