DESCRIPTION
Renovation of one of the oldest Hotels of Marrakech city centre.
CONCEPT
The Hotel Marrakech is an emblematic hotel in the ocher city: located at mid-distance between the Medina and Gueliz; between tradition and modernity; and for this it needs a landscape design “Haute-Couture”; where the same attention to ambiances, plants selection, and material can be found in the implementation and later in the maintenance.
The first project step is to recognize the existing vegetation. Remains of 40 years of existence, numbers of tall palms, euphorbias and other mature trees give to the Hotel Le Marrakech its unique character and are a real treasure to be identified, protected and taken care of in a knowledgeable manner to get its former beauty.
Secondly the hotel boundaries are relinked to the urban fabric thanks to an intervention on two avenues Oum Errebia and Khalid Ibn Eloualid where the new main hotel entrance will take place and on the Boulevard Mohamed V to give back its former splendour to pedestrians.
Finally the hotel outdoor spaces are redefined with distinct characters and usages, and give to the visitor a feeling of peace in a traditional and modern setting.
