It will curate seasonally, host solo and group shows, offer residencies, host launch events, fashion shows and even commission work directly. Not all supported talent need be emerging, but avant garde Moroccan creativity needs a champion.
This is the essence of our mission at IZZA; to mix creativity with receptive minds, to ‘stir the pot’ within this House of Friends.

Inspired by Morocco’s finest aesthete.
IZZA’s design draws from the life and aesthetics of Bill Willis. His distinctive style and eclectic designs are evident throughout the hotel. Guests can marvel at intricate zellige details and a plethora of photographs and memorabilia showcasing his life among stars like Grace Jones, Mick Jagger, and Yves Saint Laurent. These precious items were sourced from his former home, Dar Noujoum, a property that IZZA’s proprietors take pride in owning.
Documenting a Legacy.
IZZA proudly presents a documentary capturing the essence of Bill’s life. Featuring interviews with personalities like Pierre Bergé, Marianne Faithfull, and Madison Cox, the film also provides glimpses of iconic locations like the private residence of Yves Saint Laurent, Zahia Palace, and Dar Noujoum itself.
The future holds exciting plans for Dar Noujoum, envisioned to become an artist’s residence, nurturing and supporting talented artists from Morocco and beyond.
