• Hoosta says

  
  

  At Riad Meriem, New York–based in­­terior designer Thomas Hays shows his orientalist leanings in the decor of his five-suite riad hotel with handcrafted Mo­­roccan lamps and mirrors.When he first bought the wrecked property, Hays instructed a small army of Moroccan artisans to restore the original mosaics or zilij and commissioned the king of Morocco's personal lantern-maker to fill the luxury riad with traditional lighting that transforms it into a scene from 1001 Arabian Nights after dark.

• With whom ?

  
  

  A 1001 nights Prince or a Princess.

• The rooms :

  
  

  Hays painted the luxury riad's five suites in contemporary tones of grey and aubergine and then added his own fine art photography and a range of pan-global prints and paintings. Bathrooms are clad in traditional Moroccan plasterwork (or Taklakt) and all the bedrooms have hand-made beds, Egyptian cotton sheets, telephones and stereos with iPod docks and Bose speakers.

• The restaurant :

  
  

  Breakfast on the rooftop terrace, or "chef a domicile" for an authentic diner
