Ling Ling, A New Experience
From Hakkasan, To Open At
Mandarin Oriental, Marrakech
In August 2016
Mandarin Oriental has announced a partnership with
Hakkasan Group to open a new dining concept, Ling
Ling, at Mandarin Oriental, Marrakech
Offering a vibrant, social experience that fits well with
the Marrakech lifestyle, Ling Ling provides a creative
twist to the renowned Hakkasan DNA, resulting in
an experience that encompasses cocktails, dining and
dancing in no particular order. Drawing inspiration
from the Japanese Izakaya concept, Ling Ling offers
an innovative cocktail list, smaller plates of beautifully
prepared Cantonese dishes, perfect for sharing, and
an eclectic soundtrack. Ling Ling overlooks the
picturesque olive groves and serene pools at the centre
of the award winning Mandarin Oriental resort, and
encompasses an outdoor terrace, lounge and bar. The
venue will be open all year round for cocktails
and dinner.
“We are delighted to welcome Ling Ling to Marrakech,”
says Mark Bradford, General Manager of Mandarin
Oriental, Marrakech. “Our beautiful resort is the
natural home for its first venture in Morocco. Ling
Ling is not only a great addition to the hotel’s other
culinary offerings, but it will also provide a stylish
nightlife venue to complement the chic and vibrant
Marrakech scene.”
“We are very pleased to be bringing Ling Ling to
Mandarin Oriental, Marrakech,” says Vinicio Alberelli,
Director of Operations, Europe and UK. “The
combination of two such iconic brands and teams is
a truly exciting endeavour. We believe Ling Ling will
become a drinking and dining destination in the city
offering something completely unique to the market.”
Ling Ling at Mandarin Oriental, Marrakech has been
designed by Gilles & Boissier, the acclaimed French
designer duo who created the overall design of the
resort.
