Whether you’re seeking a romantic getaway, a family vacation, or a business trip, Four Seasons Rabat at Kasr Al Bahr promises an unforgettable experience. Combining Four Seasons’ renowned service with the cultural richness of Rabat, the hotel offers a truly unique stay.

A prime location

Strategically located just minutes from the Kasbah of the Oudayas, the Medina, and Rabat’s main attractions, the hotel also offers easy access to key transport hubs. It’s only a 30-minute drive from Rabat-Salé Airport, 90 minutes from Casablanca’s Mohammed V Airport, and 5 minutes from Rabat’s two main train stations, both served by Morocco’s high-speed rail network.

A historic revival

The hotel’s opening marks the beginning of a new chapter for the Kasr Al Bahr palace, a historic site that once served as Sultan Moulay Slimane’s summer retreat before becoming a military hospital. Now, restored to its former grandeur under the Four Seasons brand, the five-hectare site combines renovated historic buildings with modern structures, offering a harmonious blend of heritage and contemporary design. The project is supported by UAE-based partners.

Luxury accommodations

The hotel will offer 200 luxurious rooms and suites, most featuring private balconies or terraces with ocean views. Some suites, like the opulent Sultan’s Riad, come with a rooftop terrace and infinity pool. Located in the original 1792 palace residence, this nearly 1,000-square-meter suite offers a uniquely lavish experience.

Exceptional dining

The hotel will feature seven restaurants and bars, including three flagship dining experiences: Brasserie Marie (French cuisine), Verdello (Mediterranean and Italian cuisine, opening in December), and Flamme (international cuisine). The Noora Lobby Lounge will be perfect for a luxurious afternoon tea, while the Atlantique Bar will serve creative cocktails. The Laila Lounge, housed in the oldest palace building, will provide a refined setting for special celebrations.

Wellness and recreation

The hotel’s spa includes an indoor saltwater pool, a traditional Moroccan hammam, private treatment rooms, and a 24-hour fitness center. The two outdoor pools, one of which is an infinity pool with ocean views, are set amidst lush gardens, creating a serene environment for relaxation.

Meetings and events

With 2,700 square meters of event space, including a Royal Ballroom that can host up to 1,000 guests, the Four Seasons Hotel Rabat at Kasr Al Bahr is set to become a premier venue for high-profile meetings and conferences. The hotel also offers a Junior Ballroom, seven meeting rooms, and a private terrace for outdoor events.

Opening offer

To celebrate its launch, the hotel is offering a 15% discount on regular room rates for reservations made before the official opening.

The inauguration of the Four Seasons Hotel Rabat at Kasr Al Bahr marks a new era of luxury and hospitality in Morocco, providing guests with an unforgettable experience in an extraordinary setting.
