Four Seasons Arrives in Morocco's Capital City in Early 2024 with a Spectacular Oceanside Property
Ushering in a new chapter in the storied history of a landmark location in the heart of Morocco's “City of Lights,” the new Four Seasons Hotel Rabat at Kasr Al Bahr is now confirming reservations ahead of its grand opening early next year.
Once a Sultan's summer residence and later a military hospital, the historic Kasr Al Bahr — “Palace by the Sea” — is evolving again, now as a Four Seasons hotel. Spread across twelve-acres of beautifully landscaped gardens, the fully restored and enhanced property includes six heritage and five new buildings, creating a true oceanfront oasis in the heart of the city. At the same time, guests are just minutes from the Kasbah, the Medina, and the city's most popular landmarks and most important business addresses.
Resort Living in the Heart of the City
A stunning indoor saltwater pool is at the heart of the Hotel's elegant Spa complex, which includes a traditional Moroccan hammam, private treatment rooms, full-service salon and 24 hour fitness centre with an outdoor terrace for yoga classes. Two outdoor pools – including a resort-style pool and an ocean-view infinity pool – are set amid gardens with palm, olive and citrus trees.
Accommodations include 200 guest rooms and suites, most with balconies or terraces with ocean or lush garden views. A highlight is the lavish Sultan's Riad, spread over two floors within a restored 18th century heritage building with a private infinity-style pool, encompassing close to 10,000 square feet of beautifully appointed rooms accommodating parties of up to six adults and three children in luxurious style.
Destination Dining in Rabat
Set to become a dining and drinking destination for both local residents and visitors to the capital, Four Seasons signature experiences will include Brasserie Marie for classic French cuisine, Verdello for ingredient-driven Mediterranean fare, and, beckoning guests with aromas of freshly baked breads and pizzas, the more casual Flamme by the two outdoor pools.
Noora Lobby Lounge promises the city's most luxurious afternoon tea service, while a team of creative mixologists will showcase international cocktail trends at Bar Atlantique. True connoisseurs will want to seek out the Cigar Bar, hidden within the palace's oldest building, for fine cigars and rare cognacs and whiskeys.
