Popularized by the self-titled Hollywood romance starring Ingrid Bergman and Humphrey Bogart, the ‘White City’ of Casablanca has long been North Africa’s most glamorous destination. Whilst most Moroccan cities lead with their rustic medinas and Amazigh heritage, Casablanca is all about upscale shopping, dining, and modern living.
To help visitors find the right setting for indulging in these mandatory frivolities, our editors have selected the best stays in Casablanca.
Le Casablanca Hotel, Racine
Le Casablanca Hotel is the White City’s most glamorous hotel and spa. Its confident Art Deco style is complemented by marble chessboard floors, gold chrome accents, and crushed velvet furnishings. And yes, there’s a jazz bar too; one of several popular meeting places this hotel boasts. Bringing the outdoors into its Art Deco nest, the creative gourmet Mediterranean restaurant La Pergola is another favorite. The hotel’s upscale status is complemented by its location in the trendy Racine neighborhood, favored for its equally upscale shopping. What’s more, its equidistance between Lalla Meryem Beach and the Old Medina gives it a ‘best of both’ edge over other top Casablanca hotels.

Four Seasons Casablanca, La Corniche
Perfectly positioned beside Lalla Meryem Beach and the high-end retailers of Anfaplace Mall, the Four Seasons Hotel Casablanca boasts one of the most desirable coastal addresses of any hotel in the city. Whilst being satisfyingly modern, the hotel woos guests with traditional Moroccan touches. Its character-defining feature, however, is the floor-to-ceiling windows which not only bathe guests in natural light but also afford optimal ocean views. The coastline can also be appreciated from Bleu, the hotel’s pop-up charcoal restaurant which specializes in serving Mediterranean grill cuisine. Meanwhile, the hotel spa pulls through with signature treatments that only further establish Four Season’s high standards.

And yes, the dishes are as bold as the hotel itself.
