Morocco: Morgans Hotel Group has announced a partnership with Hivernage Collection which will see new Delano and Mondrian-branded properties in Marrakech.
The New York-based hospitality management company has teamed up with Moroccan entrepreneur Ahmed Bennani and Hivernage Collection for the unveiling of two boutique hotel properties in Marrakech. A 73-room Delano is scheduled to open in September 2012, followed by a Mondrian-branded property which will open in late 2013.
Michael Gross, chief executive officer of Morgans Hotel Group, said: “We are excited to be working with Ahmed Bennani and his team to bring the second Delano in the world to Marrakech. This collaboration signifies Morgans Hotel Group’s entry into North Africa and we are thrilled to be one of the first U.S. based hotel companies to extend our brand portfolio to the dynamic city of Marrakech. Delano has become a truly iconic brand, synonymous with luxury and unrivaled standards of service, and our Marrakech property will showcase this unique hotel offering to a brand new audience.”
The 69-room Mondrian Marrakech will be the latest stage in the expansion of the brand, which includes planned openings in London, the Bahamas, Doha and Istanbul.
