After purchasing the land in 2000, Loum-Martin and her husband built Jnane Tamsna, a boutique hotel located in Marrakech, from the ground up in less than a year, according to Black Enterprise. The unique lodging has since been featured in dozens of coffee table books and magazines, including Elle, Vogue and Town & Country.
Loum-Martin noted the journey hasn’t always been easy, however.
