Design and architecture firm Perkins Eastman has started construction on the Park Hyatt Marrakech at Al Maaden in Morocco. The 131-key hotel is designed to offer guests and residents luxurious rooms in a dramatic setting with a view of the Atlas Mountains. Perkins Eastman worked with Site Concepts International from Florida for the landscape design and SM Design from Paris for the interiors. Construction is expected to be completed in 2013.
“Our goal was to create a luxury destination which pays homage to the history of Marrakech and the region through a contemporary interpretation of design and detail,” says Perkins Eastman principal Shawn Basler.
Amenities include a resort center, Park Hyatt meeting residences, specialty restaurant, luxury spa, private villas, and an artist’s medina. The hotel has two main pools: an all-day pool adjacent to the main restaurant and a formal pool with infinity edge overlooking an 18-hole golf course and the Atlas Mountain range. A water feature, symbolic of the irrigation basins found in the region, separates the resort from the golf course. The resort is adorned with formal and private gardens, secret spaces, and unique design features that add to the ambiance.
The guestrooms, with views of the golf course and mountains, are grouped in clusters around a common courtyard. Each guest accommodation is entered through a private interior courtyard with a water feature. Forty-five exclusive villas include a living room, dining room, fireplace, and pool.
