Radisson Blu Hotel, Marrakech Carre Eden

Radisson Blu Hotel Marrakech Carré Eden is positioned on Avenue Mohamed V in the Gueliz district, the 193 rooms occupying a contemporary property set within the commercial and cultural spine of the new city. The design throughout works with a neutral base and vibrant colour accents, the palette applied consistently across guest rooms and public spaces and carrying a sense of considered contemporaneity rather than default international hotel styling. The outdoor pool is covered by a raised glass enclosure that creates an aquarium-like visual effect when viewed from the terrace, one of the more distinctive spatial decisions in a building that otherwise follows the logic of the urban hotel type. The Lila Restaurant and Patio serves international cuisine from breakfast through dinner; the adjacent Lila Bar operates with live music in the evening, a programming choice that connects the hotel to the wider social texture of Gueliz. Rooms feature rapid Wi-Fi, plasma screens, modern bathrooms, and the practical fittings that business and leisure travellers in this part of the city require in roughly equal measure. The Carré Eden complex that surrounds the hotel provides retail and residential context, positioning the Radisson Blu within a mixed-use environment that reflects the contemporary character of Gueliz more accurately than any single-use hotel block could The glass-enclosed pool, visible from the garden terrace, functions as a centrepiece for both the hotel's identity and the block it occupies.
