Shaded by the palms of the Hivernage, where Marrakesh whispers its most fascinating secrets, there is a marvellously peaceful, refined space: the Nobu Marrakech. Subtly reflecting the Moroccan soul, and only a stone’s throw from lively souks and the Koutoubia gardens, the hotel provides an opportunity to immerse yourself, where every detail is an invitation to serenity.
From the first moment, the hotel reveals something of its character, with a majestic tree taking pride of place in the centre of the lobby and rendered sublime by the warm lighting. This striking contrast between Moroccan opulence and Japanese austerity is a graceful reflection of the spirit of the hotel: A bold harmony between tradition and innovation.
The rooms are sanctuaries of comfort, welcoming guests with a perfect balance of clean lines and local inspirations. The finely-sculpted wood panels murmur stories of ancestral craftsmanship, while the works of abstract art, bathed in light, invite one to travel. This atmosphere is further emphasized by the delicate textures, and a soft light which dances on the walls, playing with shadows to compose a visual symphony. Here, every detail seems to be an invitation to take things slowly.
And as dusk comes on, so does the lighting for the restaurant, making it the theatre for a unique blend of Moroccan and Japanese taste. The celebrated Nobu black cod, lacquered with a caramelised sauce containing local spices, stimulates the palate, while bold creations take diners on a culinary voyage without frontiers.
In the spa, holistic treatments and unique experiences extend an invitation to step out of time; and at the edge of the swimming pool, elegant design and the soothing nuances of the water invite one to switch off. Beneath the wooden pergolas, the light of the sun dances delicately. With a cocktail or a mocktail at hand, and the snowy Atlas mountains as a backdrop, every moment becomes a luxury to be enjoyed to the full.
More than just a hotel, the Nobu Marrakech is an invitation to stop the clock, to savour the moment in surroundings of an elegance that is never obtrusive but always present. A rare hotel, imbued with poetry, where every detail evokes the art of living: timeless and profoundly relaxing.
