Le Nyx Piano Bar is the evening bar of the Mövenpick Hotel & Casino Malabata Tanger, on Avenue Mohammed VI in Tangier bay. The room is a modern lounge with low armchairs, a long lit bar and a piano key motif running through the decor, and its windows open onto the hotel's pool gardens with the bay and the city lights behind. It is a cocktail and nightcap bar rather than a club, and the hotel also runs a casino on the same site.
Perché andarci
Le Nyx Piano Bar in Tangier is the evening bar of the Mövenpick Hotel & Casino Malabata Tanger, on Avenue Mohammed VI in the bay.
Its windows look straight onto the hotel's pool gardens, with the beach, the bay and the city lights behind.
It is a proper cocktail bar with a long lit counter and a bartender working a full back bar, rather than a hotel lobby with drinks.
The decor runs a piano key motif through the columns and the walls, which is where the room gets its name.
A stage corner with a keyboard, guitar, darbuka and a PA sits by the entrance, so live sets happen here.
Musica e atmosfera
A piano bar format: live keyboard and acoustic sets rather than a dance floor
Low white and purple armchairs, oval black tables and bar stools along a backlit counter
Glass walls onto the floodlit pool gardens, which makes the room work best after dark
Quiet enough for a conversation, and the crowd is mostly hotel guests and Tangier locals in for the casino

Da sapere
The hotel opened in 1999 and holds a casino, so the bar sits on a late night circuit rather than closing early
Three other bars and restaurants share the building: Layali, Le Paradisier and Le Phenix lobby bar
The pool gardens the bar looks over run down to the beach on Tangier bay
The Kasbah, the Grand Socco and the medina are a short drive west along the corniche
