Four Seasons, CasaBlanca – The Height of Luxury in Morocco

Dreaming of jetting to Morocco and resting at a prestigious resort-style hotel? The hip and avant-garde beachfront Four Seasons Hotel of Casablanca awaits you. Positioned atop Anfa Hill in Casablanca’s classiest neighborhood, this hotel enjoys a remarkable view of the vast Atlantic Ocean. This sleek getaway is just a quick 10 minutes from the business district and historic city center of Morocco’s largest city, Casablanca.

Upon arrival, you will be welcomed by a glitzy entrance accentuated by the lobby’s floor-to-ceiling windows that frame a jaw-dropping view of the deep blue expanse of sea. The mesmerizing landscape is the only true distraction from the unrivaled flower arrangements and high-end jewelry that decorates the lobby. Think emerald-green jewels that parallel the vibe of the hotel’s bright and luscious lawn.

Once you’ve stepped into your holiday abode, you will notice a more European luxurious feel from your assigned room. The gorgeous marble flooring and smart décor create a crisp ambiance. The peaceful bathroom, also lined with suave marble, may have floor-to-ceiling windows and a massive bathtub overlooking the beach and ocean. If the jaw-dropping view that overlooks the 100-year-old El Hank lighthouse is not entertaining enough, the bathroom does come equipped with a TV in the mirror for ultimate relaxation as you soak in your spa-grade bathtub. There is also a separate walk-in shower, leaving room for your travel companion to rinse as you bathe. The modern interior design of your room will also incorporate local Moroc-can heritage by using traditional fabrics and brass finishings. These recommended rooms come equipped with private balconies, allowing you to enjoy an intimate breeze.
The ambitious hotel offers three on-site seaside restaurants. Bleu, the signature restaurant, has a menu inspired by its Atlantic location. It offers daily breakfast buffets and dishes featuring freshly caught seafood and fish. French executive chef Christophe Laplaza leans on Casablanca’s expansive coastal line for inspiration for his creative yet delicate menu. Featured dishes include the bisque shrimp with lemongrass rosemary jelly and cream cheese, the Atlantic fresh salmon with black rice herb jus, tomato, and paprika, along with other dreamy dishes curated from listening to the whispers of the sea.

The poolside eatery, Latitude 33, focuses on regional specialties that are encouraged to be shared. Chef Laplaza truly strives to create memorable culinary experiences that draw from local ingredients. Named for its geographical location, the 33rd parallel, this restaurant’s signature dish truly showcases Laplaza’s culinary talent while honoring Moroccan flavors. Here you can try The Crab, a Niçoise-style plate with fresh guacamole, vegetables, and an earthy tomato dressing.
For the most traditional meals, the outdoor terraces of the Mint offer all day dining options. Visit this elegant lobby lounge to enjoy a causal meal of authentic Moroccan specialties and light gourmet. While a five-star hotel isn’t usually the sought-out spot for tagine, this hotel’s interpretation is unpredictably delicious. It should be noted this is a dry hotel, with no alcohol on-site. The intoxicating views can be thoroughly enjoyed with craft mocktails and locally produced teas.

Putting dining aside, the hotel’s most impressive feature is its destination spa with treatments by Guerlain. The 90-minute Imperial Relaxing Massage is a must for anyone passing through Casablanca.

Visiting Casablanca is perfect for those attracted to seaside cities drenched in history, stunning architecture, and high-caliber dining. Guests of the Four Seasons Casablanca are supported by the hotel’s ability to create an experience tailored to unique desire. The hotel’s primary goal is to help reestablish a romantic connection to the Moroccan air and encourage visitors to see the land like a local. Carefully planned private tours can be booked through concierge service to help guide your experience of the White City.
