Chef Nobu Matsuhisa, Robert De Niro, and Meir Teper, co-founders of Nobu Hospitality officially open Nobu Hotel Los Cabos with a grand opening event and signature sake ceremony on Wednesday, November 13th.
Following the cutting of the ribbon, guests gathered for the traditional sake ceremony to the sound of Japanese Taiko drummers – marking the official launch of Nobu Hotel Los Cabos. After breaking the lid to the sake barrel with wooden mallets, sake was served to guests in traditional masu cups for a grand toast.
Following the toast, an extravagant fireworks display colored the sunset, reflecting over the ocean at Nobu Restaurant. The celebrations continued throughout the evening with entertainment including fire dancers and an exclusive performance from renowned American DJ and producer, DJ Cassidy.
Situated on the idyllic Baja California Sur peninsula, Nobu Hotel Los Cabos has brought a world-class contemporary flair to a coastline already revered for its natural beauty, wildlife and culture. The group’s first hotel in Mexico houses four pools, private cabanas, an Esencia Wellness Spa, Malibu Farm and signature Nobu Restaurant, surrounded by the world-famous Diamante, with golf courses designed by Tiger Woods and Davis Love III.
A structural vision, courtesy of lead architects, Monica Cuervo and Mark Yoshizaki of WATG, Nobu Hotel Los Cabos sits on a stretch of sand on the southernmost tip of the peninsula. Each of the 200 rooms and suites has ocean views and the interiors, handled by Severine Tatangelo of Studio PCH, execute a delightful balance of the Japanese style that Nobu is famous for, with a strong sense of its Mexican locality.
