The layout runs upside down: you arrive at the top lobby and descend terraced levels toward the Atlantic beach.
“You are both spoiled and spoiled for choice here. The aforementioned beach is accessed beyond the pool.”
What it’s good at
Notable
Tiered Foster-designed architecture steps down the hillside toward the Atlantic coastline.
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
the Four Seasons Hotel Casablanca more than compensates via the brand’s signature luxury — and its architecture and design capture the romance of Morocco through a modern though no less authentic route.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The Corniche beach promenade runs right outside, and the landmark Hassan II Mosque is ten minutes down the coast.
The rooms
Ocean-facing rooms open onto private balconies above the beach, finished inside with dark wood and Moroccan filigree lamps.
The gym
Bring a swimsuit.
Mirrored walls line the 24-hour fitness centre, fitted with Life Fitness machines and a ballet barre.
The spa
Ten treatment rooms include couples suites with soaking tubs, using rituals from Sodashi and Maison d'Asa.
At the table
A circular bar glows on the palm-lined courtyard patio, and dining terraces look straight out over the Atlantic.

Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.

Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.
Local
It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.

Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.

A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
Lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Central
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
