Four Seasons Hotel Rabat at Kasr Al Bahr opens in Morocco’s capital

Four Seasons Hotel Rabat at Kasr Al Bahr is officially open in Rabat, Morocco.

Located in the capital city’s historic Quartier l’Océan on the shores of the Atlantic, Four Seasons Hotel Rabat is the ideal base from which to explore the city’s fascinating mix of cultures, architecture, cuisine and the arts. Much of the modern capital and historic city was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2012, thanks in part to its “fertile exchange between the Arabo-Muslim past and Western modernism,” with its notable green spaces part of one of the continent’s most successful urban development plans.

From the 12th century Kasbah des Oudaias with its boutiques and bistros to the colourful shops that line the medina’s alleyways nearby, the magnificent Andalusian Gardens, and the ultra-modern Grand Theatre of Rabat designed by Zaha Hadid, the Hotel’s concierge team can plan an itinerary to suit every interest.

The hotel’s 200 rooms and suites are spread across several modern and historic buildings featuring ocean or garden views, with most including either a furnished balcony or terrace, and some also offering a private plunge pool.

Guests are spoiled for choice among the hotel’s accommodations, with standouts including the Turquoise Ocean View Suite with its large living room, full dining suite and furnished balcony to enjoy the sweeping views from the top floor of the Hotel. The three-bedroom Moulay Slimane Presidential Suite – named for the Moroccan king who led the original construction of the “Palace by the Sea” two centuries ago – include residential-style features such as a fitness room, office, media room and kitchenette. The hotel’s crowning glory is the stunning two-storey Sultan’s Riad, offering 950 square metres (more than 10,000 square feet) of lavish living, including a rooftop ocean-view infinity pool.
