Forbes: Nobu Marrakech brings a Japanese sensibility to Morocco

In a feature delving into the unique attributes of the five-star Robert De Niro-owned hotel, Forbes hailed Nobu Marrakech for setting a new standard for luxury and cultural fusion in Morocco’s hospitality landscape.

The Nobu Marrakech is bringing a Japanese-inspired sensibility to the Red City, noted Forbes Magazine. 

“With an abundance of stalwart luxury properties steeped in Moroccan grandeur – complete with opulent lattice and tilework, rich hues of emeralds and reds and over-the-top gastronomic decadence – the latest luxury outfitter is taking a zen-like approach to its first property in Africa,” explained the american publication.

The Nobu Marrakech, which opened in January in the heart of Marrakech’s luxe Golden Triangle district, is home to 71 spacious suites spread across three floors, each embodying the Japanese concept of Kokoro, which engages a spiritual connection with a destination. 

Nobu’s 44 junior suites, six deluxe junior suites, 18 one bedroom suites, and Miyabi and Nobu suite are all decorated in a simplified palette of neutrals with teak accents and offer views of North Africa’s Atlas Mountain range and the Koutoubia Mosque.

Trevor Horwell, chief executive officer at Nobu Hospitality Group explained that the Moroccan establishment of the hotel is home to one of the largest spa venues in the Nobu Hotel portfolio and pays homage to the building’s Moroccan history while still adding a touch of Nobu’s modern Japanese style.
