.Located in one of the metropolitan area's prime addresses-- a Fine art Deco high-rise and also previous resort on the peak of the Old Medina, 1st created in the 1950s and also reemerging after an eight-year-long revamp-- the accommodation has actually presently landed in the city along with a bang.
