- Join Susanna in Marrakesh, Morocco as she visits renowned hotelier Meryanne Loum-Martin at her stunning property containing both her renowned boutique hotel Jnane Tamsna and her own residential refuge in the heart of Marrakesh’s Palmeraie district. Both places are just seamless steps from one another and resonate with Loum-Martin’s penchant for blending culture, history and design.
Born in Cote d’Ivoire, Loum-Martin worked in Paris as a lawyer before moving to Morocco in 1996. She built the property in 2001, after creating its buildings and outfitting its unique rooms with furniture and objets culled from her extensive travels. Her ethnobotanist American husband fashioned the native gardens and their bounty helps feed the many guests who seek their generous hospitality from all over the world.
The hotel’s interiors are as singularity exotic as the rooms in Loum-Martin's home, both filled with art, textiles and antiques and she and Susanna explore each. You won’t want to miss how Morocco’s only Black female hotelier determinedly brought her vision of creating a destination for world travelers and for her own family, to life. - Jak na to + styl

WOW What a lovely hostess who speaks beautifully, is interesting, talented and gracious in her very beautiful property.
I am watching multiple times this morning to savor every bit of the rooms and surroundings. Surround yourself with books, art, rugs, and textiles, I agree.Thank you Susanna and Meryanne.
Same
THE SAME!!!!
I and my partner stayed there 15 years ago. It’s a beautiful place… Meryanne has amazing taste and was very welcoming; and her husband was so knowledgeable and friendly. It felt like we were visiting friends. Memorable…
What an elegant, intelligent, lady. Thank you Susanna and Stacey.
Our pleasure!! She really is!
@@quintessenceblg How lovely, thanks again!
I ran out of words after seeing this admirable woman and her accomplishments!
Wow, who is this woman? What taste, what style,…her home is a marvel…she lives in a dreamscape….thank you, this is a gift. ❤
Our pleasure! Glad you enjoyed!
The books, art, layers, wonderful lighting…it’s all perfection! Wish this was longer, would have loved to see more!
Agree
Susanna, thank you again for taking us all on your travels. I am always transported to magical places.
So glad you enjoyed!
All I can say is remarkable her home and gardens are just beautiful .
Susanna there are no words for how much I love Quintessence. One a week would not be too many!
🙏🙏🤗
0:00 to 0:22 when I hear that music I know it’s happy time because Quintessence is on 🧡
Hi Tiffany 😀, i concur 😄👍! Greetings from Germany 🤗 alex
Thank you!! 🙏🏻
Delighted to hear that!! 🙏🏻
@@alexandrabarrenbrugge4585 awww🥰
Me too!
Mind blown. Gorgeous. Thanks for taking us there!
Dreamy, mindful, crisp but not fussy..every space, interior and exterior is better than the next..a hotel and home that is food for the soul.
What's not to love! So Wonderful 🥰 she also has a lovely voice, and Yes .. Be Yourself 🙌
Oh, This should be a longer video! How beautiful!!!
Absolutely
Beautiful and serene, with plenty of spice to keep us interested on every level. There is much to be said about life's experiences influencing our taste. Living in a 1930s Spanish style home in Southern California, my eye went right to the arched doorways and other curves in the building, as well as the 'bringing the outdoors inside' feel of the place. The long table with the spectacular lighting above is thrilling!! The white vining flowers are fabulous, and it's clear the garden is as carefully curated as the interiors. So lovely her husband can fill this role. I love to see two creative people living in plenty of space, each supporting the other with their skills and inspiration. I adore the fabrics as well; such a lovely treat for you, Susanna, to be wrapped in such wonderful color. Cheers, ladies! :)
Thank you for your thoughtful comment and for watching!!
Yes and yes - so glad you enjoyed!
I don't say this often but STUNNING! This is exactly what I like - the mix of cultures, eclectic, comfortable but elevated. Brilliant.
"In your home be yourself, be daring, be confident. It doesn't matter if people don't like it!" Yes! Decorate in a way that makes you happy. That's my philosophy too! 😊💜
Thank you for taking me to visit this unique beautiful place. ❤️🇺🇸
Love this home tour. The colors and textures in this home are truly beautiful ! Ms Meryanne’s home matches her peaceful and calming persona !
This is beyond gorgeous. Stunning. A woman of taste like no one I have seen on Quintessence. Colours are mixing so well, and all the artefacts are chosen with such a loving eye…I am in love with this place. Thank you so much
Susanna you are a true adventurer! You have found a place where I want to live! Absolutely stunning and visual eye candy for the soul! My soul is always in a happy place when you post your videos!
Thank you! Meryanne is an inspiration!!
@@susannasalk7153 As you are my Dear!!!
What a humble and wonderful hotelier Meryanne is. The beautiful fireplaces. Interesting and warm environments. Bliss.
Now THAT'S what we call good architecture !
First time I felt a video of yours wasn't long enough. Everything was absolutely stunning!!
What an inspired interior! This video is way too short. I would have loved long luxurious pans across the rooms in Maryanne’s home to soak in the textures , the carefully curated walls of diverse art, and architecture. Oh well I’ll just have to watch it again and again!
I love every inch of this house oh and she has the most beautiful head of hair I have ever seen.
Only six minutes! Now that's just mean ;o) How about an hour EACH for her house and the hotel? Thanks!
As usual I feel transported to some place unusual and exotic. This time Marrakesh Morocco. One of a kind designs that not only inspires you but also awakens your senses. Love!
I’ve been in love with her hotel and style for a while
Morroco is truly an artistic place and treasure trove of design pieces for interiors
This lady has such a good taste. You suddenly realize that truly good taste comes with intellect. This video is absolutely stunning! Thank you!!!
Our pleasure and yes, often true!
So true!!
What welcoming, enchanted, warm, and livable spaces. Thank you for this tour.
Amazing house! I love the colors of Marrakesh!
Oh wow, another glorious upload from you. I found this overwhelming, necessitating multiple views to really pay attention and soak up all the detail and information delivered on multiple levels all at once. Just wonderful. Thank you so much all!
Absolutely " breath taking" and beautiful host !
Watching this beautiful video was a perfect antidote for a gray, chilly Minneapolis day. Fabulous interiors and stunning gardens! Thank you, Susannah!
Marrakesh is quite a place! Lovely gardens, riads, and boutique hotels. Thank you for showing us one. I like the idea of a house party atmosphere!
Wow! I’d love to see more.
We all would
We fly to Marrakech from NZ today....I willbe looking for her book. Simply wonderous and very relatable. TY.
So, she said that she is a self-taught architect and interior designer, which I feel is very humbling to hear from her. She is so authentic about her own experiences traveling alone to a variety of places in the world. That perspective of someone who is obviously privileged from her family wealth, it’s really important that she shows that her own perspective and design techniques are not for everyone else to love. She said she doesn’t really care if other people don’t like it, she sticks to her own rules that as long as she likes it then it doesn’t matter if other people don’t like it. That’s really showing someone who is very strong and self-aware. She explained that it’s important to love your own place with the mix of personal past influences from her own lovely journeys.
I’m really impressed with her own attitude towards design and said that if someone else does not like it, then it’s fine with her. She doesn’t brag about her own wealth in a way that most do. What a wonderful lady, I’m really happy to have listened to her own story, without any one else trying to talk over her. It’s about the people who live in their own beautiful places, and not about the host who loves to interrupt the guests that she visits. I really enjoyed this type of video, thanks so much to this channel for adapting and changing the format of the home tours.
Thank you Quintessence! You create so much joy exhibiting all these beautiful homes, interesting personalities, art, gardening and design! It makes me so happy to see people celebrating color! Such feel good stuff.
To stay in Jnane Tamsna's hotel, has always been on my bucket list!
Wow, Meryanne has an amazing sense of space. Thank you Susanna and Meryanne.
Love love love it. Textiles, colors, rugs, books, art. Marrakesh Express. 🤗🤗🤗
Beautiful establishment. Just love the White Bougainvilleas around the archways. Thank you for the lovely tour inside and out. Very planet friendly garden and shows us we can have a lovely garden with less watering.
LOVE LOVE LOVE everything about this video, thank you so much. LOVE from Ireland xxx
What a lovely environment this petit woman, that is obviously a powerhouse of intellect and sensibility has created. It was a pleasure to watch Susanna. Colors in Morocco are like no other, probably very similar to hues seen in ancient Egypt, Greece, and Rome. You must have brought home many incredible goodies from this one. All the best...
Wow! What a gorgeous place. I loved the colours, furniture, accessories, architecture etc., etc, etc. It has such an inviting nature about it and the gardens are beautiful too. Thanks Quintessence.
I visited Marrakesh a couple of times in the 80s and loved it. Thank you for taking me back.❤ ❤ ❤❤❤
Bonjour mes chères
Loved this visit. What a paradise of colors, textures and lights ! Let’s not forget the luxurious jardins Heaven must look like this. Thank you for this visit
Oh my.I need to get out more.And I must say,Susanna,you know how to dress for the moment.You and Stacey have improved my life.Thank you.
🙏🙏🧡
Just Magnificent Well Done Meryanne Loum-Martin
If I were at Meryanne's resort, I think I would just walk room-to-room like a puppy just learning everything I could. I found her book on Amazon. My copy is on the way to me. What a treat this will be.
Delighted to hear it!
I’m so happy!!
I’m also going to order her book
Gorgeous!..so exotic and colorful! I love the art and textiles and could just take everything in, inspiring me. Thank you, Susanna and Meryanne, for sharing this unique home. Great tour. 😊
This is my new favorite. I've always loved indoor-outdoor spaces, but abhor the modern glass-box look so many of them incorporate nowadays. This hotel is stunning! The open-air aspect must breathe so much more life and zen into the space. And such character, too.
I've also always been a sucker for the Moroccan aesthetic, as well as the layout of a riadh with the interior courtyard.
This woman is who I want to be when I grow up! Her home and the hotel's mission is so inspiring. What a blessed life they live, and well deserved by the look of it.
So glad you loved!? 🙏🏻
I’m so glad you were inspired and loved!
Glorious colors and forms. I can see why anyone would love to have a home in Maarrakesh, or anywhere, that looked and felt like this one! Well done! Thank you!
unbelievable! wowwww. i wish this video was an hour long. so much to look at!
I love Moroccan decor , I have a beautiful antique brass tray coffee table from Africa and another beauty brass tray . What a beautiful artsy home !
Amazing, unreal, pinch myself , I’m reeling seeing this ! Wow . Love when you let the Guest tell the story ! Perfection ! Wouldn’t change a ting .color is the Escape we so desire , & Fear it in our own homes ! ❤. Ron in Vt.
The use of color is just outstanding wow - how inspiring 😊
Oh la-la! What a treat! Merci, Madame Loum-Martin.
Extraordinary!! Susanna, you have the best job!
El mejor canal, gracias ❤
