Situated in the Hivernage district, also considered Marrakech’s Golden Triangle, Nobu Marrakech sees interiors inspired by the building’s past. The décor weaves history with modern, Japanese style, complete with local artwork, handmade fixtures and intricate detailing. The 71 suites extend across three floors, each embracing the Japanese concept of Kokoro, or the spiritual connection with a destination. Suites include junior, deluxe junior, deluxe one-bedroom, Miyabi and Nobu suites, all with views of the Atlas Mountains or Koutoubia Mosque.

This space encompasses a Nobu sushi bar and daily selection of seasonal Moroccan and Mediterranean dishes.
