Dar Al Dall, This Time Tomorrow’s luxury, boutique riad hotel in Marrakech, has today unveiled a new 10-metre outdoor swimming pool on its private multi-level rooftop terrace. Exclusively for the use of hotel guests and open daily from 10am-8pm, the pool, designed in partnership with Marrakech architectural studio Trab Design, offers a tranquil place to swim, cool off and unwind above the city. A generous size for a rooftop pool in the heart of the city, guests can also make use of the inviting lounging and dining spaces that surround it, while enjoying sweeping views looking out towards Morocco’s famed Atlas Mountains.
