Delano Marrakech: A New Era of Luxury in Morocco
Marrakech is once again at the forefront of luxury tourism, as the lifestyle hotel group Ennismore, in collaboration with the Moroccan real estate platform YAMED, has announced the launch of the **Delano Marrakech Hotel & Residences**. This marks the debut of the Delano brand in both Morocco and Africa, positioning Marrakech alongside other iconic destinations such as Miami, Dubai, and London. The project promises to redefine luxury living in the region, with a strategic location in one of the city’s most exclusive areas, just a stone's throw from the medina, the Majorelle Garden, and prestigious golf courses, including the Royal Golf Marrakech and Amelkis Golf Club.
The ambitious development will feature a comprehensive resort that includes **130 upscale rooms and suites** along with approximately **80 private residential villas**, each equipped with its own swimming pool. The residences are set to open by the end of 2026, while the hotel is expected to welcome its first guests by 2030.
A Comprehensive Lifestyle Experience
Delano Marrakech is envisioned as a holistic lifestyle destination that combines luxury accommodation with residential experiences, providing owners with exclusive spaces and a suite of premium services. These will include 24/7 concierge services, valet parking, a clubhouse, a screening room, a golf simulator, a spa, sports facilities, and personalized offerings. The Delano identity, which originated in Miami, is known for its contemporary design, immersive experiences, and sophisticated ambiance. In Marrakech, this vision will be adapted to reflect local architecture, emphasizing Moroccan materials, traditions, and craftsmanship. The esteemed Elastic Architects will collaborate with Ennismore and YAMED to bring this project to life.
The culinary aspect will also play a significant role in the resort experience, featuring several concepts managed by Paris Society, including the legendary **Rose Bar** and **Café Delano**, designed as social hubs that blend gastronomy, music, and a luxurious lifestyle. Additionally, the project will incorporate a significant wellness component through **The Source by Delano**, which will focus on immersive experiences centered around spa treatments, fitness, and rejuvenation.
This expansion into Marrakech underscores Ennismore's commitment to enhancing the Mediterranean strategy, as the city joins a portfolio that already includes properties in Cannes, Barcelona, Ibiza, Rome, and Alexandria. Through this partnership, YAMED and Ennismore aim to firmly establish Marrakech as a premier destination for international luxury lifestyle, at the intersection of hospitality, design, and high-end real estate investments.
