Akira Back The Rooftop Marrakech

On the rooftop of the Pestana CR7 along M Avenue, Akira Back The Rooftop brings a Japanese-Korean aesthetic to one of the most visible new addresses in modern Marrakech. The terrace is organised around a pergola bar with lounge and dining areas positioned to take in the city views that the upper floors of M Avenue naturally command. The design is contemporary, the materials light, and the spatial arrangement suited to the kind of evening that starts with drinks and continues into the night. The cocktail programme is built to complement the culinary concept: gastronomic signature drinks that reflect the Japanese-Korean kitchen's precision and flavour logic. The drinks are made to be noticed without drawing attention away from the conversation. The wine list is carefully selected, and the overall approach to the drinks service matches the level of the food programme it accompanies. As the evening progresses, resident DJs take over, shifting the register from dinner to something closer to a rooftop session under the Marrakech sky. By night, the rooftop takes on a different quality. The city extends outward from M Avenue in all directions, and the lights of Marrakech provide the backdrop for an elevated evening that the tree-lined boulevard below cannot quite deliver. Akira Back The Rooftop establishes itself as part of the M Avenue evening circuit. For a drink in a setting that belongs firmly to contemporary Marrakech rather than its historical identity, this is a well-positioned address.
