Airdate: 2017-Apr-17

Episode summary:

Giles and Monica arrive at Royal Mansour in Marrakesh. In contrast to the developing country it inhabits, the 'jewel of the city' was built with a limitless budget by royal decree to showcase the kingdom to world leaders and to billionaire and celebrity guests. Its network of luxurious riads, built by the nation's finest artisans, are kitted out with suede and silk carpets, extravagant chandeliers and open fireplaces lit by personal butlers. The hotel prides itself on its incredible attention to detail, creating an absolutely flawless guest experience. Monica works with executive housekeeper Laurence, who intriguingly teaches her to how to 'show love to curtains'. Giles is introduced to the hotel's 1km of underground tunnels, which ensure absolute discretion - to the guests, it looks as though every whim is fulfilled as if by magic.
