The neighborhood was actually a very conscientious choice for TRIBAL, as we preferred a street that felt very local to one filled with hotels and restaurants. The fact that to get to the hotel you have to walk through residential streets, allows you to peek into open doors and courtyards and greet the families that gathered on the sidewalk for a late afternoon chat adds to the experience.
Where do you shop for furniture? Do you collect? All the furniture, except for a couple of pieces that we found in local markets, were designed by us and made by local artisans, including the tiles, chairs, tables, and lamps. Some of the fabrics and kilim rugs were collected by my partner Jean-Marc in various countries he had traveled to, which ended up with an eclectic mix of stuff from Morocco, Turkey, Thailand, Burma, etc.
There were no children in the hotel. What’s the motive behind it?
The children policy was put in place from previous experiences when, kids being kids, things got a bit loud, especially around the pool, and disturbed other guests that came down here to use Tribal Hotel as their little oasis of relaxation. That said, we can make exceptions for well behaved kids (and well-behaved parents!)
