The Royal Mansour Marrakech,

Recreating the imperial splendor of Marrakech, the Royal Mansour Hotel is a splendid hotel which was included in the Robb Report’s 2011 ‘Best of the Best’ Luxury List.

King Mohammed VI himself developed this unique massive complex. Everything in this hotel breathes luxury and elegance. The tall red clay walls hide from the public eye opulent courtyard palaces, fountains, serene ponds, boughs of bougainvillea and olive trees. Lanes and squares create a beautiful pattern between the riads, which are traditional Moroccan palaces or houses with an interior courtyard or garden.

These riads recreate the decorative style and architecture of the most important Marrakesh buildings: the beautiful geometric lattice seen on the Saadian Tombs, the symmetric design of the 12th century Koutoubia mosque, or the handcrafted wood doors found at the old city traditional homes. These are only few proofs that traditions and the artistic heritage were kept alive and displayed on this magnificent piece of art.

------->> Felix Baumgartner Stratosphere Jump

GOOD LUCK FELIX !

One crazy thrill seeker is set to make history today. After a morning of delays, Felix Baumgartner, an Austrian born skydiver, will attempt to be the first human to break the sound barrier unaided by a vehicle. Baumgartner will ride a ballon up to36.49km (22.68 miles) above Earth and free fall in order to achieve the incredible supersonic speed. At that altitude, Baumgartner is in a near-vacuum and should accelerate over 690 miles per hour (1110.65km/h) in just 40 seconds. In total, the journey back to earth should take approximately 10 minutes. Red Bull Stratos is sponsoring and organizing the event and is broadcasting a live stream of the supersonic sky dive for the world to see. You will not want to miss this incredible event.

"I love a challenge, and trying to become the first person to break the speed of sound in freefall is a challenge like no other."

Port Adriano Redesigned by Philippe Starck

French designer Philippe Starck has completed the extensive renovation program in Calviá, on the south-west bay of Palma de Mallorca. This time Starck took things way beyond furniture and interior design, as he accepted the challenge of remodeling and enlarging the entire Port Adriano marina in the Balearic Islands.

After upgrading its commercial area – there are now 82 new berths that range from 20m (66 feet) to 80m (262 feet), and even more during summer – Philippe Starck transformed Port Adriano into a new main anchorage spot in the vast Mediterranean sea.

Numerous shops, international restaurants, and luxe naval brands, such as Princess, Yacht Moments, and Sunseeker, are all part of the new commercial side of the marina. For a complete high-end experience, the Port offers access to different lounging spots, clubs, golf courses, and perfect sand beaches.

Bentley Continental 3GT Concept

After almost a decade of racing absence, Bentley is ready to reenter the race track with a new vehicle: the Continental GT3. Currently only in concept stage (unveiled at the Paris Motor Show), the car is based on the Continental GT Speed, which Bentley says “is the perfect car for us to develop into a racer”.

The new racer’s career is scheduled to begin sometime at the end of 2013, and the plan is to prove what the GT is really capable of, and also to establish “a solid foundation for Bentley’s long-term motorsport plans”, according to Wolfgang Schreiber, the company’s CEO and Chairman.

The concept looks really amazing, with a wide body kit , side exhaust pies, and a stripped out interior. Powering the vehicle will probably be an awesome turbocharged W12 with racing features.

While the GT Speed has an AWD configuration, the GT3 will have to feature a rear wheel drive in order to meet racing regulations.
