Abu Dhabi-based place-maker IMKAN has delivered a luxury boutique hotel in Rabat, Morocco. The Ziryab inspired hospitality project has been fully-completed and will be ready to open its doors to guests on October 16th, 2019.
Located in the embassy district of Rabat, the five-star hotel is set to be a hub for diplomats and esteemed visitors from all over the world. With a built-up area of 3700sqm comprising 38 deluxe rooms, Villa Diyafa Boutique Hotel & Spa will offer first-class service hallmarked by IMKAN’s promise to create places made specially to suit the desires and lifestyles of visitors.
IMKAN’s luxurious boutique hotel design follows an iteration successfully carried out by Marc Hertrich and Nicholas Adnet of Studio MHNA. Mixing Moroccan architecture with Andalusian highlights, the French duo combined contemporary and Moorish design to conceptualise a theme inspired by the life and art of Zyriab. The spacious 40sqm rooms are complete with balconies over-looking the newly built lush gardens and their unique designs respond to the airy, light and welcoming tones of the hotel.
IMKAN’s Chief Executive Officer, Walid El-Hindi said: “Delivering Villa Diyafa, is another major milestone in a successful year for IMKAN after our recent acquisition in Egypt. Today marks the next step on our journey to international markets and I’m proud of the hard work carried out by our team in partnership with our sister company and hotel operator H Mark hotel.”
The Abu Dhabi-based place-maker’s commitment to collaborating with world-class partners is evident across their entire portfolio, and this holds true to Villa Diyafa Boutique Hotel & Spa. The team collaborated with the award-wining building company BYMARO who built the Hassan II Mosque in Casablanca and The Royal Mansour, one of the world’s most prestigious palaces. Landscape architects SPACE COOP and French interior design firm Studio MHNA who renovated Mövenpick Mansour Eddahbi in Morocco, and worked on the interior design of Sofitel Frankfurt Opera in Germany, were also brought on board to create a partnership that has delivered a truly unique and high-end hospitality experience in sumptuous surroundings.
Villa Diyafa Boutique Hotel & Spa will be operated by IMKAN’s sister company H Hospitality Collection which was founded in 2015 by Abu Dhabi Capital Group as the hospitality business vertical for the group, providing overall management of Hotels, Resorts and F&B enterprises.
H Hospitality Collection’s Chief Executive Officer, Claudio Capaccioli, said:” At H Hospitality Collection we are committed to providing global travellers with the very best visitor experience and we have developed a strong reputation in achieving this by creating luxury hospitality offerings that are imbued with local flavourings. We are proud have joined forces with our sister company IMKAN in the development of Villa Diyafa Boutique Hotel & Spa, our combined expertise has brought a unique experience of unparalleled luxury to Morocco.
Villa Diyafa Boutique Hotel & Spa is one of two international projects due for delivery by IMKAN in 2019, the second being the first phase of Egypt’s Alburouj – a 5 million sqm complete mixed-use community sited 20 minutes’ drive from Cairo International Airport. The Abu Dhabi based developer also has three UAE projects that are nearing delivery this year; all of which are located in the capital. Sheikha Fatima Park is an open-air green space and hub for leisure and wellness, Nudra a luxury beachfront community of 37 villas located in Saadiyat Cultural District, and Thanaya a premium residential building in Khalidiya.
