Park Hyatt Marrakech officially opened in late December, marking the brand’s debut in Morocco.

Located 15 kilometers from Marrakech’s historic Medina district, the 19-acre resort sits at the base of the Atlas Mountains surrounded by palm, olive and jacaranda trees. It is adjacent to the Al Maaden Golf Resort.

Offering a distinctly residential, modern, and stylish take on Arab-Berber heritage, Park Hyatt Marrakech is composed of 16 pavilions arranged around a central, zeolite patio.

Marrakech-based interior designer Imaad Rahmouni created spaces that skillfully balance the modern conveniences of home and while upholding the destination’s traditions in craftsmanship and materiality and making the most of the resort’s mountain and valley views.

The 130 guestrooms and suites are among the most spacious in Marrakech. Each one features traditionally woven Berber carpets in pure wool and headboards representing the Tataoui motif (a local roofing technique made of laurel branches) alongside modern works of art sourced via Ifitry Artists’ Residence.

Through an exclusive collaboration, Ifitry has curated more than 700 paintings and decorative objects especially for Park Hyatt Marrakech, featuring artists from Morocco, Senegal, Benin, Spain, France, Italy and Japan. Among the most notable pieces is a work depicting a constellation of meteorites hangs from the lobby ceiling. Created by visual artist Mounat Charrat, it is comprised of almost 600 hand-crafted ceramic pieces.

Other highlights of the property include:

• A range of authentic and globally-inspired dining options, including an arabesque brasserie called TFAYA, and a bookshelf-lined social space – The Living Room – offering a tapas menu alongside libations such as Moroccan mint tea and Fennel Old Fashioned.
• Wellness facilities including 23,000-square-foot spa offering hammam rituals and holistic therapies; a hair salon; a 2,153-square-foot fitness center and yoga studio; a 47-meter outdoor heated pool; a 45-meter family-friendly outdoor pool; and a 20-meter indoor heated pool beneath a vaulted ceiling.
• Seven spacious meeting and event rooms, which can accommodate up to 80 guests.
• Rooftop terraces atop each pavilion (known as Douars), each of which delivers a panoramic 360° view.

“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. Park Hyatt Marrakech marks the eleventh Park Hyatt property in the Europe, Middle East, and Africa region, following the brand’s successful expansion across key leisure destinations such as Doha, Vienna, Istanbul, Dubai, Zurich, Milan, and Paris.”

Park Hyatt Marrakech is the third Park Hyatt brand property in Africa. It joins Park Hyatt Zanzibar and the Park Hyatt Johannesburg, which is expected to open in 2025.
