    Long overlooked by travelers for places like Marrakech, the city of Casablanca is ready for a transformation. Thanks in part to a new hotel in the commercial capital from the Royal Mansour Collection, this ancient urban center is ready to be explored. On this episode, pulled from the pages of our spring print issue, Dan speaks with Jean-Claude Messant, the group's Managing Director, about how this Frenchman found his way to North Africa, how the country is using five-star luxury to develop lives, economies, and culture, what to do during a weekend in Casablanca, and much more.

    Sharing the Spotlight: Lindsey Adelman and Gabriel Hendifar
    May 20 2026
    Designers Lindsey Adelman and Gabriel Hendifar may technically be competitors, but in many ways they’re kindred spirits. Adelman has revolutionized the world of lighting for the past 20 years, introducing a level of craft and artistry into an industry that was sorely lacking; and Hendifar created the brand Apparatus, an outfit known for its own lighting designs (among other objects) that positively glow with glamor and creativity. On this episode, the two impresarios sit down at the same table for a rare discussion on what being a designer means to them, how the careers of one another inspire them, and much more.
