Hyatt has expanded its portfolio of hotels in
Africa with the opening of a Park Hyatt in Marrakech, Morocco.
Located about 15 kilometers from Marrakech’s historic
Medina district, the 7.5-hectare resort is adjacent to the Al Maaden
Golf resort at the base of the Atlas Mountains.
Composed of 16 pavilions arranged around a
central, zeolite patio, the Park Hyatt Marrakech has 130
guestrooms and suites featuring traditionally woven Berber carpets
in pure wool and headboards representing the Tataoui motif - a local roofing technique made of laurel branches.
Thanks to an exclusive collaboration with Ifitry
Artists' Residence, the hotel features more than 700 paintings and decorative objects
curated by artists from Morocco, Senegal,
Benin, Spain, France, Italy and Japan.
In the lobby, a masterful
suspension – comprising almost 600 hand-crafted ceramic pieces by
visual artist Mounat Charrat – adorns the ceiling, depicting a
constellation of meteorites, while two abstract paintings by
Italian artist Gianni Lucchessi offer a contrast to the
surrounding, raw-earth wall panels.
Facilities at the luxury hotel include an
expansive spa; hair salon; 200-sqm fitness center and yoga studio;
a 47-metre outdoor heated pool; a family-friendly 45-metre outdoor
pool; a 20-metre indoor heated pool beneath a vaulted ceiling; a
choice of F&B outlets; and a variety of flexible meeting and event
spaces.
“We are looking forward to
welcoming our discerning Park Hyatt guests to Marrakech,” said
Pascal Leprou, the hotel's General Manager. “True to
the brand promise, we have created a refined home-away-from home
that unlocks unparalleled enrichment for guests, while upholding
and honoring Moroccan traditions. The result is an intimate
sanctuary of exceptional and magical surroundings for the curious
and adventurous traveler.”
Park Hyatt Marrakech is the eleventh Park Hyatt
property in the Europe, Africa and Middle East region, following
the brand’s successful expansion across key leisure destinations
such as Doha, Vienna, Istanbul, Dubai, Zurich, Milan and Paris.
“As a key
market in our regional growth strategy, we are delighted to
announce the opening of Morocco's first Park Hyatt hotel in
Marrakech. The property has been a highly anticipated addition to
our portfolio as Morocco receives a resurgence of interest as a
top tier cultural destination among travel connoisseurs,” said
Javier Águila, group president EAME, Hyatt. “Offering a wealth of
new experiences across the arts, culture, and gastronomy,
alongside the area’s historic and ancient treasures, Park Hyatt
Marrakech provides guests an enviable opportunity to discover the beauty of the Red City through this modern sanctuary of timeless
luxury.”
