United Real Estate Co, a unit of Kuwait Projects Co, and Marriott International have issued a joint statement saying that they have agreed to open a resort near Marrakech.
Marriott said in October that it had signed deals with partners to increase its hotels in Africa by 50% by 2023, opening new ones in Ghana, Kenya, Morocco and South Africa, and entering the market in Mozambique.
Introducing The St. Regis Brand To Marrakech
The St. Regis Marrakech, in central Morocco, should open in 2024, the joint statement published in Kuwait said, without disclosing the cost of the development.
The deal "introduces" Marriott's St Regis brand to Marrakech, it said, adding that the resort will be owned by Morocco's Assoufid Properties Development and developed by United Real Estate.
