Marriott International and Eagles Hills sign St. Regis Tamuda Bay, marking the grand debut of the luxury hotel brand in Morocco.
Marriott International and Eagle Hills announced the signing of the St. Regis Tamuda Bay, which will mark the luxury hospitality brand’s official debut in the country of Morocco.
Located in the center of gorgeous Tamuda Bay on the country’s scenic northwestern coast, the hotel is currently slated to open in mid-2020.
MOROCCAN CHARM
Once the hotel opens, the property will be part of La Bahia Blanca, which is a landmark lifestyle resort development that is being built by Eagle Hills, an Abu Dhabi-based private real estate investment and development company.
The resort will feature Moroccan charm and also pay tribute to the Andalusian cultural legacy with its ample use of elevated design, exceptional service and unique food and beverage choices for its guests.
“The rich heritage, and cultural and historic legacy of Morocco has long been alluring to the luxury traveler. The St. Regis Tamuda Bay represents an exciting moment for St. Regis as the brand continues to grow globally in destinations welcoming a new generation of luxury travelers,” said Alex Kyriakidis, President and Managing Director, Middle East and Africa, Marriott International.
“We are delighted to strengthen our relationship with Eagle Hills, and look forward to offering guests an unparalleled experience both befitting of the destination and true to the St. Regis legacy,” Kyriakidis added.
SCENIC LOCATION, TOP AMENITIES
The St. Regis Tamuda Bay will also offer an unparalleled location that provides easy access to one of the world’s most magnificent beaches.
The hotel itself will feature 100 luxuriously-appointed guest rooms and suites, which will boast unobstructed sea views and hallmarks of the renowned brand such as the luxurious signature St. Regis butler service.
The resort’s sophisticated culinary offerings, meanwhile, are slated to feature a new specialty restaurant, an all-day dining option with a variety of gourmet selections, and an iconic St. Regis Bar.
This is inspired by the King Cole Bar, which is a staple of the brand’s flagship location in New York City, which has the distinction of being where the now-famous Bloody Mary cocktail was born in 1934.
Amenities for the property will include a spa, pool, and modern fitness center. The St. Regis Tamuda Bay will also offer event and meeting spaces, ideal settings and sizes for both small and large scale events.
“We are very excited to take our partnership with Marriott International to the next level with the St. Regis legacy and the brand’s renowned bespoke service,” said M’Hammed El Merini, General Manager, Eagle Hills.
“The St. Regis Tamuda Bay will set a new standard for service and sophistication in Morocco, and we look forward to welcoming guests to experience the resort’s unrivalled luxury,” El Merini added.
La Bahia Blanca, which will be an exclusive lifestyle resort on the Moroccan coast, will combine luxury hospitality and a select number of beachfront residential villas with high-end leisure facilities including a beach, a Park and a children’s play area.
