The hype
Immaculate rooms and incredible staff make it the best hotel in the city, but the lack of alcohol shocks many Western travelers.
Four Seasons Hotel Casablanca
$400-650/ night
Book this if You want a resort-style exhale with direct beach access and Four Seasons service, but don't mind being a 15-minute taxi ride from the chaotic city center.
Why People Love It
- The 'urban resort' vibe that feels miles away from the grit of downtown Casablanca
- Floor-to-ceiling windows in Ocean View rooms that frame the Atlantic like a painting
- Service that actually anticipates needs—from chocolate-covered strawberries on arrival to staff remembering your name
Quick Take: A stunning, spotless sanctuary on the ocean that forces you to leave the property if you want a glass of wine with dinner.
Reviewed by @lovemylifedee: I checked into Casa Medina expecting perfection. The bathroom was shockingly tiny, but the cozy bed and incredible room service turned my night around. A unique stay I won't forget.

- You prioritize sleep quality and hygiene over historic charm
- You are traveling with family and need a safe, contained environment with a pool
- You don't drink alcohol or don't mind taking a taxi to Le Cabestan for a cocktail

Before you book
Good to know
- Download the Four Seasons app for 'Lead with Care' chat—it's faster than calling the front desk
- Breakfast at Bleu is excellent but costs ~390 MAD ($40); you can get a great breakfast for a fraction of that at Paul in the mall next door
- Valet parking is ~250 MAD/night; self-parking in the mall garage is cheaper but less convenient
What to pack
- Modest swimwear for the public beach if you venture out
- A light jacket for the Atlantic breeze, even in summer
- Your own duty-free wine if you plan to drink in your room (glassware is provided, corkage is not a thing)
Room Genie
Best picks
- Grand Premier Ocean-View Room (Floors 3-5) for the best unobstructed Atlantic vistas
- Premier Room for a split view of the ocean and courtyard if you want to save a few dollars
Rooms to avoid
- Superior Rooms on lower floors facing the 'Garden'—often just a view of the internal courtyard or the back of the mall complex
Room Request Genie – copy & paste
“I would appreciate a room on a higher floor (3rd or above) facing the ocean. Please avoid any rooms with direct views of the Anfa Place mall structure.”
FAQ & Hidden tips
Everything you actually want to know before you book.
Is the hotel really dry?
Yes. 100%. No alcohol is sold or served anywhere on the property due to its proximity to a mosque and royal decree.
Can I bring my own alcohol?
Yes, you can consume your own alcohol in the privacy of your room. Staff will bring glasses and ice, but you cannot bring it to the restaurants.
Is the pool heated?
Yes, the outdoor pool is heated year-round, making it usable even in the cooler winter months.
How far is the Hassan II Mosque?
It's about a 5-10 minute taxi ride (approx. 3km). You can see it from some ocean-view rooms.
Is the beach private?
No. The hotel has a secure gate leading to the beach, but the beach itself is public and can get very crowded with locals playing soccer and hanging out.
Is it worth the price?
If you value consistent luxury, safety, and silence in a chaotic city, yes. If you want local character and nightlife, no.
Insider Tips
- ✨
Ask the concierge for the 'private path' code to the beach so you don't have to walk around the block.
- ✨
The 'Mint' lobby lounge serves an incredible Moroccan mint tea ritual that rivals any cafe in the Medina.
- ✨
If you crave a drink with a view, walk or taxi 5 minutes to 'Le Cabestan'—it's chic, expensive, and right on the water.
5 things to know before you go
💡The 'Garden View' is often just a view of the other hotel wing and a patch of grass.
💡You are basically staying in a high-end mall complex (Anfa Place), which is convenient for Zara/H&M runs but lacks soul.
💡The security is airport-level tight; expect vehicle checks every time you enter.
💡The spa's hammam is a sanitized, luxury version—great for beginners, but lacks the grit and heat of a traditional local bathhouse.
💡You can hear the call to prayer from the nearby mosque, but it's distant and atmospheric rather than waking-you-up loud.
