Vibe
High above the Bouregreg River, soaring glass frames vast twilight skies as hushed lounges float serenely over the dual medinas below.
“Skyline riverfront citadel”
Pierre-Yves Rochon interiors pair Cordoba leather, brushed brass, and ceramic zellige tilework with extensive Moroccan contemporary art.
Dedicated personal concierges assist fifty-five river-facing suites appointed with sun-warmed marble soaking tubs and bespoke brassware.
High-altitude wellness pairs a thirtieth-floor panoramic indoor pool with an authentic Turkish hammam and quartz sand tables.
Inside the Mohammed VI Tower along the Bouregreg River, overlooking the historic medinas of Rabat and Salé.
“Waldorf Astoria Rabat-Salé is as modern a luxury hotel as you’ll find in Morocco, occupying the top floors of the sleek Mohammed VI Tower skyscraper.”
Rooms
Floor-to-ceiling windows look across ancient ramparts to the glittering Atlantic, fronting light-filled rooms with deep marble tubs and tailored woodwork.
Wellness
Soaring above the capital, the spa pairs the panoramic pool with an authentic hammam, Iyashi dome sessions, and restorative Swiss therapies.

The app
This is one hotel. The app has every one we rate, in your pocket, for the whole trip.
Our shorthand
What makes a hotel special, how well they pull it off, and what it feels like outside the door.
How well they pull it off
Extremely rare. Sets the global standard.
Brilliant execution. And we’re picky.
They did this well. You’ll notice.
A defining trait. Makes the hotel what it is.
The eight vibes
Architecture and interiors lead. There’s a creative vision at work.
The guest is conspicuously well cared for. Requests met before they’re made.
Rooted in place. Local character runs through the whole stay.
Energy and scene. Where the city goes out, whether or not it’s sleeping here.
A building with history. The story of the place is part of the stay.
Built around feeling better. Rest, sweat, soak, spa.
A hotel the city grew up with. Same rituals, same regulars.
A world of its own. No reason to leave the property.
Scene — what’s outside the door
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
A place apart: the property is the destination.
