Hilton expands presence in Morocco
Hilton Worldwide has signed a management agreement to open a 170-room hotel within the Taghazout Bay Resort located 17 kilometres north of the Moroccan coastal town of Agadir. Hilton Taghazout Bay Beach Resort & Spa is set to open in 2018 and will join three Hilton Worldwide hotels currently operating or under development in Morocco – Hilton Tanger City Centre Hotel & Residences and Hilton Tangier Al Houara Resort & Spa are both set to open in 2017.
Hilton Taghazout Bay Beach Resort & Spa is part of Morocco’s new sustainable Taghazout Bay Resort complex, which is set at the foothills of the Atlas Mountains and overlooks the Atlantic coastline. Guests to the hotel will have access to a range of activities at the Taghazout Bay Resort complex, including the on-site surf camp, tennis club and golf academy at the 18-hole golf course designed by architect Kyle Philips, as well as hiking and mountain biking. The resort is located only 40 minutes from Agadir International Airport.
The property will have outdoor pool areas that overlook the bay’s curving beach, with direct access to the shore for guests of the hotel. In addition to its fully serviced spa, the hotel will include two signature restaurants and a bar. For corporate travellers the hotel will include a ballroom suitable for up to 500 delegates and four meetings rooms.
