Best Grand Hotels Hotels in Rabat

The Four Seasons Hotel Rabat at Kasr Al Bahr offers an exquisite blend of history, modern luxury, and oceanfront beauty. Ideally situated on the Atlantic coastline, just minutes from the historic Kasbah, Medina, and key business districts, the hotel is also easily accessible, being 30 minutes from Rabat-Salé Airport and 90 minutes from Casablanca’s Mohammed V International Airport, with high-speed train links connecting to Casablanca and Tangier. Housed within the restored Kasr Al Bahr, an 18th-century palace originally built for Sultan Moulay Slimane, this five-hectare site includes eleven buildings, merging five new constructions with six historic structures to create a unique balance of tradition and chic modernity. Guests can choose from 200 spacious rooms and suites, many featuring balconies or terraces with stunning ocean views, while the lavish Sultan’s Riad – a three-bedroom suite with its own terrace and infinity pool – offers the pinnacle of luxury. The hotel’s dining scene is diverse, boasting seven venues, including signature restaurants such as Brasserie Marie for French cuisine, Verdello for Mediterranean and Italian fare, and Flamme for all-day dining with Moroccan touches. Guests can also enjoy the Noora Lobby Lounge for afternoon tea, Bar Atlantique for cocktails, and the intimate Laila Lounge for live entertainment. For relaxation, the hotel features The Spa at Four Seasons with ocean-view treatment rooms, a traditional hammam, and both indoor and outdoor pools set within lush gardens. Additional facilities include a 24-hour fitness centre, yoga terrace, and a kids club offering creative activities for younger guests, making it an ideal destination for both leisure and business travellers.

274 forms of accommodation range from chambers to three-bedroom residences at this ocean-side abode (including rooms adapted for people with reduced mobility). All come with La Bottega toiletries, 50-inch flat-screen HDTVs, Nespresso machines and twice-daily service. Decor has a Moroccan feel but with a modern design. The Fairmont caters ably for families (including four-legged friends) and has an immersive spa, as well as boutiques for a spot of retail therapy. Dining takes place at The Deck, The Foam and Dahlia, the latter specialising in contemporary Levantine cuisine. And La Verrière, with its apex glass ceiling, is a stunning spot for cocktails.

Having launched in the mid-twentieth century, this 229 bedroom hotel was taken over and redeveloped by the Sofitel chain in 2009 – its stunning 16 acres of gardens are its namesake. The city’s Moroccan and French heritage is reflected in the plush styling. More a resort than a hotel, it has three restaurants, two bars, two palm-flanked outdoor pools, one indoor pool, designer boutiques, a designer spa with a hammam, sauna and hot tub, a yoga and pilates studio and a Technogym. Families are well catered for, with a kids’ club, special menus, welcome gifts and a children’s spa menu.
