The Queen of Sheba Suite
The Queen of Sheba Suite
Of the fabled land of Sheba, little is known, but its queen has captivated hearts and imaginations for centuries. A figure of immense power, wealth, and wisdom, she was celebrated in her time and remains a symbol of majesty and allure. Twice, the Hebrew Bible recounts her extraordinary meeting with King Solomon, marvelling at his unmatched wisdom and presenting him with an opulent tribute of rare and exotic treasures.

Her land, Sheba, was a crossroads of the ancient world, where spice and incense routes converged, ideas flourished, and culture thrived. The Queen of Sheba herself embodied this vibrant world—graceful, wise, and rich beyond compare. As it is written: “Never again were so many spices brought in to Judea as those the queen of Sheba gave to King Solomon.”
The Maghreb Suite, with its bedroom, shower room, and bathroom tower retreat, invites you to immerse yourself in this ancient lore. A finely carved dark wood bed greets you upon entering, its ornate headrest set against a mural that conjures an exotic desert citadel, somewhere in the Maghreb. While the precise location of Sheba remains a mystery, the suite’s inspiration and furnishings hail from North Africa, a region celebrated for its exquisite marquetry and timeless artistry.
The story continues in the shower room, where a stunning mosaic created by the acclaimed South African ceramicist Madeleine Henning, portrays the Queen of Sheba surrounded by her regal entourage, evoking her legendary grandeur and elegance.
A third room, occupying one of the château’s light-filled round towers, serves as a charming bathroom extension, adding to the suite’s unique allure.
As you rest upon the bed, fit for a queen, let your thoughts drift across golden dunes under a canopy of endless stars. Imagine the Queen of Sheba herself—wise, radiant, and commanding—a timeless reminder of the power of grace and intellect. May your dreams be as sweet and silky as the incense and spices that once scented her court.
Upon waking, your eyes may fall upon the treasure chest in the corner, a mysterious piece that seems to guard the one thing you desire most in life. Though the chest cannot be opened, trust that your treasure will someday find its way to you.
The Maghreb Suite invites you to journey through a realm of legend and wonder, celebrating the timeless beauty and splendour of the Queen of Sheba’s world.
