Four Seasons Hotel Casablanca, Morocco

Posted in Projects on 11 November, 2015

Four Seasons Hotel Casablanca, a new oceanside hotel in Morocco’s largest city, is now celebrating its grand opening.

The 186-room Hotel cascades down toward the Atlantic, providing a luxurious retreat inspired by ocean waves and kissed by cool breezes.  Most guest rooms and suites have balconies to take in the fresh sea air, and the Hotel’s signature restaurant and lobby lounge face the ocean.

“With the city centre and financial district just 10 minutes away, it’s hard to imagine that this breezy, resort-like Hotel is in the middle of such a busy urban metropolis,” says General Manager Olivier Thomas, who leads a team of 325 carefully-selected staff who are excited to welcome the Hotel’s first guests.  “For business travellers, it’s the perfect home base in the city, and for those on holiday, it’s truly the best of both worlds.”

A breath of fresh air in a busy metropolis, Four Seasons Hotel Casablanca is an oceanside oasis of luxury in the heart of Morocco’s largest city.  Intimately scaled, it’s ideally located just 10 minutes from the city centre with full facilities for business travellers, and resort-like amenities for relaxing holidays with family and friends.

The all-new Foster + Partners-designed building spills down toward the sea, taking full advantage of endless blue skies, soothing ocean waves and spectacular sunset views.  Guest rooms and suites are oriented to cool breezes and open views, with a resort-style pool oasis in the Hotel’s garden. A vibrant gathering place for locals as well as international visitors, Four Seasons Hotel Casablanca features three restaurants and bars, a lavish spa and expansive event spaces.

GA Design was responsible for the interior design and EDG imagined the concept for the The hotel’s signature restaurant, Bleu. Adjacent to that, Bleu Bar will showcase a modern French brasserie menu of grilled seafood and meats inspired by the Mediterranean region; flowing layout and design features are inspired by ocean waves, with a unique oval-shaped open kitchen at the heart of the restaurant, as well as tempting ice displays of fresh seafood; outdoor seating is also available.

Located on the oceanfront, Four Seasons Hotel Casablanca is minutes away from the city’s business district, the landmark Hassan II Mosque and designer shopping. Within 30 minutes are some of the city’s top attractions, such as the Habous medina, major museums and more.  Guests of Four Seasons can also tee up at one of ten world-class golf courses within an hour of the Hotel.

Casablanca’s most lavish spa haven will feature cedar and local stone textures, with argan oil-inspired gold accents glowing beneath perforated Moroccan lanterns.  Spa Director Gaëlle Peiffer and her team will set a new standard in the city with cutting-edge therapies, pampering treatments and personalised service.

• 700 square metre (7,535 square foot) Le Spa with 10 treatment rooms, including two for couples; a menu of specially-designed spa experiences for kids and teens will also be offered.
• Men’s and women’s relaxation lounges and change rooms, plus sensory showers and ice fountains, balneo hydrotherapy pool, steam rooms and saunas.
