Best Design Hotels in Hivernage

Occupying a spot in the city’s Golden Triangle, Nobu brings its trendy vibe to the heart of Morocco. Its 71 suites bring together the best of local craftsmanship and new-style Japanese flair. The brand’s famous restaurant concept has a venue onsite (serving the famed black cod) and there’s a stunning Rooftop Garden with a circular pool deck, a bar and a 360-degree terrace with far-reaching views over the rooftops and onto the Atlas Mountain range. There are three swimming pools onsite and a 2,000-square-metre spa and gym hidden in the basement.

Art, French luxury and Moroccan culture are the key principles at the heart of this hotel’s design and philosophy. It’s located in the Hivernage district, with views of the Atlas Mountains. The minimalist chambers are bathed in white textiles, with tataoui bedheads, MyBed double beds, BOSE sound systems, espresso machines and Hermès toiletries products. By contrast, the styling in the spa takes on a more traditional theme, with mosaics and lanterns inside the pool area and an outdoor terrace that’s evocative of a Majorelle garden. Sofitel also offers a gym, an outdoor pool and bars.
