The luxury hospitality market welcomes a stunning new addition as Hyatt celebrates the grand opening of Park Hyatt Marrakech. Nestled in the picturesque foothills of the Atlas Mountains, this premier resort invites discerning travelers to experience unparalleled luxury and exclusivity in Morocco.
A New Landmark in Luxury
With its official debut on July 1, 2024, Park Hyatt Marrakech marks the brand’s first foray into Morocco, joining the prestigious ranks of Park Hyatt Zanzibar and the upcoming Park Hyatt Johannesburg set to open in 2025. This expansion further solidifies Hyatt’s presence in Africa, offering a sophisticated haven for luxury seekers.
Strategically situated on 7.5 hectares of land, Park Hyatt Marrakech is located approximately 9 kilometers from the historic Medina of Marrakech, providing guests with an exclusive retreat away from the bustling tourist areas. Surrounded by palm trees, olive groves, and jacaranda trees, the resort borders the Al Maaden Golf Resort, giving guests convenient access to its 18-hole course.
Architectural Elegance and Cultural Heritage
What sets Park Hyatt Marrakech apart is its modern, stylish interpretation of Arabic and Berber heritage. Designed by renowned architect Imaad Rahmouni, the resort seamlessly blends contemporary amenities with traditional Moroccan craftsmanship. Guests will be enchanted by the stunning vistas of the Atlas Mountains and Mount Toubkal, visible from numerous vantage points within the hotel, including the lobby, spa treatment rooms, and poolside loungers.
The resort features 16 pavilions arranged around a central courtyard, offering an intimate and luxurious atmosphere. Each of the 130 spacious rooms and suites boasts traditional Berber rugs, Tataoui motif headboards, and modern art sourced from the Ifitry Artists’ Residence, creating a harmonious blend of comfort and cultural authenticity.
Artistic Collaborations and Culinary Excellence
Park Hyatt Marrakech has partnered with the Ifitry Artists’ Residence to curate over 700 pieces of art and decorative objects from artists across Morocco, Senegal, Benin, Spain, France, Italy, and Japan. The lobby features a breathtaking installation by Moroccan artist Mounat Charrat, composed of nearly 600 handcrafted ceramic pieces, while Italian artist Gianni Lucchessi’s abstract paintings provide a striking contrast to the earth-toned wall panels.
The culinary offerings at Park Hyatt Marrakech are a testament to the brand’s dedication to gourmet excellence. The TFAYA restaurant, led by acclaimed Moroccan chef Issam Rhachi, presents avant-garde dishes such as Lobster Mechoui with black garlic and saffron. Guests can also enjoy all-day dining at Le Pavillon, relax in The Living Room with a Moroccan mint tea or a Fennel Old Fashioned, and savor tapas like Beef Tangia Gyoza.
Wellbeing and Rejuvenation
The resort’s 2,200 square meter spa is a sanctuary of tranquility, celebrating Moroccan hammam rituals and holistic therapies. Using products from Sodashi and Nectarome, the spa offers tailored treatments, from hammam escapes to muscle recovery massages. Guests can also enjoy the 47-meter heated outdoor pool, a family-friendly 45-meter pool, and a 20-meter heated indoor pool, along with a hair salon, fitness center, and yoga studio.
Events and Celebrations
Park Hyatt Marrakech is an ideal venue for elegant events, featuring seven spacious function rooms with a desert-inspired aesthetic, accommodating up to 80 guests. The versatile spaces, adorned in neutral tones and warm hues, provide a serene backdrop for weddings, cocktail receptions, and business meetings. Each pavilion, known as Douars, includes a rooftop terrace offering 360° panoramic views, ensuring unforgettable experiences for every occasion.
