Warum hingehen
So Lounge is a restaurant, bar and club in the gardens of the Sofitel Marrakech Palais Impérial, on Rue Haroun Errachid in Hivernage.
It is one of very few Marrakech venues that carries a full night from dinner at 19:30 through to a club close at 04:00 without moving.
The room is built around a stage, with tiered banquettes, low tables and pierced brass lanterns hung over the whole floor.
Live acts run every thirty minutes between 21:30 and 00:30, including bands, Gnaoua musicians and dancers.
The kitchen is Asian, run by chef Zong, and the terrace serves it before the show programme starts.
Musik & Stimmung
Live bands, Gnaoua ensembles and dancers alternate on stage from 21:30 to 00:30, with a new act roughly every half hour.
From midnight the room becomes a club, with DJ sets and light shows through to 04:00.
Resident DJ Amine plays the late slot, joined by guest DJs.
A close up magician works the tables through the earlier part of the evening.
Wednesday is programmed as a Moroccan themed night.

Gut zu wissen
Because it sits inside a hotel, this is one of the easier late nights to reach and leave from in Marrakech.
Hivernage puts you within walking distance of La Mamounia and the Koutoubia gardens.
The programme runs seven nights a week, which is unusual for a venue of this size.
The 04:00 close means it is the address people move to rather than from.
