The hype
Travelers are blown away by the restoration and the 'palace' feel, calling it a peaceful escape from the city's hustle.
Four Seasons Hotel Rabat at Kasr Al Bahr
$450-700/ noche
Reserva esto si You want the opulence of a Moroccan palace without the chaos of the Medina, plus a front-row seat to the Atlantic.
Por qué a la gente le encanta
- It’s a 'living museum'—a restored 18th-century military hospital and sultan's residence
- Two distinct outdoor pools: one infinity facing the ocean, one serene garden oasis
- Service is already legendary, with staff like Mr. Mustafa and Mohamed Magdy getting specific shout-outs
Resumen rápido: A stunning, brand-new resort that feels like a sanctuary, though the ocean views come with a side of coastal road traffic.
Reseñado por @haroontahir: I stayed at this palace in Rabat and it was a total dream. The ocean view from my breakfast table was insane, and the historic architecture makes you feel so sophisticated. The staff even left me a handwritten note! It's the perfect mix of culture and luxury.

5 cosas que debes saber antes de ir
💡The hotel was a military hospital for a century; the renovation is a masterclass in adaptive reuse.
💡The 'Ocean View' is actually an 'Ocean + Road' view.
💡Security is tight; expect checks at the gate, which adds safety but can feel a bit fortress-like.
💡The pastries in the lobby are made by a French-trained pastry chef and rival Paris.
💡You can hear the call to prayer, but it's distant and atmospheric rather than waking you up.
