ROOM OVERVIEW

One Thousand and One Nights

Oozing luxury and stunning attention to detail, our One Thousand and One Nights suite is inspired by the famous Middle Eastern folk tales. This unique suite adorned with rich, warm tones and a stunning gold bathtub invites you to travel to the mystical Orient and escape.

The main story of the Arabian Night’s tales is the story of Sultan Shahryar, who was shocked to learn about his wife’s infidelity and has her executed. In his bitterness and grief, he decides all women are the same and seeks revenge. The Sultan begins to marry a succession of virgins, only to execute each one the next morning before she has a chance to dishonour him. Eventually the Grand Vizier, whose duty it is to provide the virgins, cannot find any more. His daughter, Shéhérazade, offers herself as the next bride and her father reluctantly agrees. On the night of their marriage, Shéhérazade begins to tell Sultan Shahryar a tale, but refuses to reveal the ending. The Sultan is curious as to how the story ends and is forced to postpone her execution in order to hear the story’s conclusion. The next night, as soon as she finishes the tale, she begins a new story and once again refuses to finish it, and once again, the Sultan who is eager to hear the conclusion of this tale, postpones her execution. Eventually after One Thousand and One nights, Shéhérazade wins the Sultan’s trust and he renounces her execution completely.

The stories of One Thousand and One Nights represents continual life through telling stories and feeds the popular oral traditions in the East to pass wisdom and dreams down through generations. The magic of these stories has inspired artists from both East and West.
