Fairmont Hotels & Resorts will develop a new luxury hotel in Morocco, the Fairmont La Marina Rabat-Salé. The 200-bedroom hotel, set to open in 2019, will be located in La Marina Morocco, a coastal mixed-use development located between Rabat and the ancient city of Salé.
“We are extremely excited to be entering a destination as beautiful and culturally rich as Morocco, and more specifically the diplomatic and business hub that is the country’s capital,” said Jennifer Fox, president, FRHI International and Fairmont Brand. “With its remarkable architecture, historic sites and emerging culinary scene, it’s a hidden travel gem that captures the spirit of the country unlike any other in Morocco.”
Fairmont La Marina Rabat-Salé will be situated on the Bouregreg river-mouth with triple water frontage of marina, river and ocean. Close to key heritage sites in Rabat such as Kasbat Oudayas and Tour Hassan as well as being close to the Hassan district, the project offers uninterrupted views over the Atlantic Ocean from the north and Bouregreg River and The Mausoleum of Mohammed V from the south.
Accommodations will also include approximately 90 Fairmont branded residences, as well as a Fairmont Spa and fitness facilities. Spa details are not yet available.
The project is part of the rejuvenation of the historical area of the Valley of Bouregreg and is being developed by Eagle Hills, an Abu Dhabi-based company specialized in the development, creation and reinvigoration of urban centers. The company currently has major developments ongoing in Morocco, Bahrain, Jordan, Nigeria and Serbia.
“This partnership with Fairmont provides another element to the vibrant experience and luxurious environment we are seeking to create for our guests and residents. La Marina Morocco promises to be an exciting venture, providing economic stimulus to the area and offering a unique hospitality experience,” said M’hammed El Merini, general manager of Eagle Hills Morocco Properties.
