The Oetker Collection has entered into an exclusive partnership with Guerlain for the future joint development of branded spas, which will form part of new "masterpiece" hotels.

The first property expected to benefit as part of the new agreement will be Palais Namaskar in Marrakech, Morocco, which opened its doors earlier this year.

Facilities include the 650sq m (6,997sq ft) Le Spa Namaskar, which includes four individual treatment cabins with outdoor terraces and two double cabins with private hammams.

A hair salon and an area for manicures, pedicures and facials also form part of the spa, while treatments can also be administered throughout the hotel grounds or on an in-room basis.

It is Guerlain's first opening in Morocco and joins its network of spas found in prime cities throughout the world, having originally been founded as a perfume house in 1828.

Signature experiences will include Orchidée Impériale Prestige Treatment and the Terracotta Treatment. Products from ila are also used in Le Spa Namaskar.

The partnership will also see the Oetker Collection explore opportunities for future openings in conjunction with Guerlain, such as Le Bristol Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.
