The Venue: A 1930s Villa Transformed into a Nightlife Hub
The Lotus Club’s location in the Hivernage district places it at the heart of Marrakech’s modern nightlife scene. The building itself, a villa from the 1930s, has recently undergone a spectacular renovation, blending historic charm with contemporary touches. This setting contributes to an elegant yet lively atmosphere, perfect for an evening of entertainment.
The ambiance is one of understated sophistication, where guests are encouraged to dress chic and stylish. Avoiding casual attire like shorts or sandals is recommended, which sets the tone for a more refined night out.
The Dinner: Flavors from Morocco and Around the World
You can choose between a Moroccan or international menu, each carefully curated to enhance your evening.
Moroccan Escape features a starter of assorted mezzés, sharing plates of traditional flavors. The main course offers a chicken tagine with candied lemon, a classic Moroccan dish bursting with spices and tender meat. For dessert, fresh oranges with cinnamon provide a fragrant, sweet finish. That’s a brilliant way to savor Moroccan culinary traditions in a setting that celebrates local flavors.
Alternatively, the International Escape includes a chicken Caesar salad for starters, followed by a salmon steak with Miso sauce and fried rice. The meal concludes with a plate of fresh fruits, offering a light, refreshing ending. For travelers who prefer familiar flavors, this menu makes the experience feel accessible without sacrificing quality.
The Show: A Kaleidoscope of Talent
The highlight of the evening is the spectacular show that features a mix of singers, aerial acrobats, and dancers. The reviews emphasize the variety of acts and the skill involved. We hear from Kim, who noted that “the performances were incredible,” and that the mezzés were exceptional.
However, some viewers mention that not all performers were equally impressive — the singer, for example, was described as “awful” by one reviewer, but others praised the dancers and musicians. It’s a reminder that live performances can vary, but overall, the show is designed to enchant and captivate.
