Four Seasons Hotel Casablanca, Morocco
My stay at the Four Seasons Casablanca is what you would expect from any luxury hotel. They knew who I was when I walked into the door, either from the driver or from my luggage tags. Check in was efficient and detailed. I was paying a full price fare and was able to experience what it was like to be a Virtuoso traveler or in this case, a Preferred Partner traveler.
The hotel has 157 rooms total of which 29 are suites. My room was a premier room with two twin beds and 47 SM or 505 SF. I had booked it this way on purpose as I thought I was staying two nights in a row, but the rest of my itinerary changed and that wasn’t the case. The room was plenty spacious even with two beds. I was on the 4th floor. The lobby, restaurants, and street level are the 5th floor.
The room featured marbled floors, light colors, and overlooked the inner courtyard. If I had to make a criticism it would be the sink had a single vanity, which is fine for me alone. The counterspace was ample. The amenities were VRAI brand, which is an Italian product I haven’t heard of before but was nice. The bed was fantastic and I was able to get some good sleep, even with my jetlag.
I also saw the top room, the Royal Ocean View Suite. This suite has impressive, 180 degree views of the ocean throughout. The Suite is 4,220 SF or 329 SM with 3 bedrooms – a master king bed room, a two double bed room, and another king bed room. The room has 3 full bathrooms and a powder room. The suite is great for entertaining with a gorgeous living and dining room. The outdoor terrace has an indoor/outdoor fireplace.
The hotel has a small pool. The service at the pool was fantastic. They escorted me to an empty lounger, laid out the towel and offered food and beverage service.
This would be a good time to note – the Four Seasons Casablanca is a dry hotel. They do not have a liquor license.
The beach can be accessed from the pool, although the entrance is hidden and it is best to ask.
I also visited the hamman steam room. Holy steam, this room was hot. I love steam rooms and it was all I could do to stay in for a couple of minutes. I do regret not getting a traditional hamman treatment. I looked at the spa menu in my room and the price was quite reasonable and sounded awesome. They have one for jet lag, too. I had a couple hamman’s later in my stay though.
The gym was good with a wide range of equipment. They have bottles of water, spa water, healthy snacks like walnuts and almonds, one class a day, and it is staffed during the day with an attendant to help with whatever you need. They do have complimentary workout clothes, including shoes, to be lent out. I am starting to see more and more properties offer this service and I love it.
The property has two restaurants – Bleu, featuring seafood and Latitude 33, featuring authentic Moroccan. Both have gorgeous views overlooking the Atlantic Ocean and are prime sunset watching spots. I ate at Bleu and had an incredible yellowfin tuna steak.
For breakfast I could chose the traditional hotel breakfast served in Bleu (buffet or menu) or room service. I never have enough time when I am on the road, so I prefer room service so I can eat as I am getting ready. I had the “healthy” option, which was a banana and date smoothie, Greek egg white omelet, parfait with fruit and granola, coffee, and bread basket. It was way more than enough to eat. They were very prompt too – it was suppose to be delivered in 30 minutes but made it in 20.
A quick side note, the hotel was decorated with beautiful art everywhere. These two pieces where on different floors.
I had a second trip back to the hotel and was able to see afternoon tea. It was beautiful and elaborate. The food we had was sooo good and I was happy to have a change from eating traditional Moroccan food.
I cannot speak highly enough about the service at the property. Everyone I encountered was friendly, smiling, happy and eager to make my day better. It terms of service level, it was one of the best I have ever encountered. Everyone knew my name, they knew when I had arrived, how long I was to be in for, etc. They did an exceptional job.
The Four Seasons Hotel Casablanca: as a Four Seasons Preferred Partner, I am proud to offer the following amenities: upgrade upon arrival, subject to availability; breakfast daily for two guests; a $100 USD equivalent food and beverage credit; and early check in/late check out, based on availability.
