Nobu Hotel Marrakech is Nobu’s first luxury lifestyle destination on the African continent. Situated in the city’s ‘Golden Triangle,’ it’s a stone’s throw away from the heart of the city, its souks, and the vibrant Medina & Djemaa el-Fna square.
In a blend of Moroccan craftsmanship and modern Japanese styling, Nobu Hotel Marrakech offers 71 suites, venues that include the Nobu Restaurant, three swimming pools, the expansive subterranean Pearl Spa and fitness center, and a Rooftop Garden with a circular pool deck, restaurant, bar, and 360-degree panoramic terrace with a view of the city and the Atlas Mountain range beyond.
There are several ways of getting to the hotel. Located 15 minutes away, the Marrakech Menara International Airport is the easiest entry for guests arriving from overseas, for an additional cost, the hotel offers an executive airport collection and drop-off service. For guests arriving by train, the train station in downtown Marrakech is a 7-minute drive from the hotel. The train services run to Casablanca, Rabat, and other key cities. For those who prefer to drive themselves, car rental can be arranged by the Hotel Golden Keys Concierge.
Stepping into Nobu Hotel Marrakech, guests are greeted by a Japanese Bonsai tree in the middle of the circular entrance hall. From there, guests have access to the Nobu Bar & Lounge, the Nobu Restaurant, and the suites. Downstairs is the Pearl spa, and upstairs lies the newest addition to the building, the Rooftop Garden.
