With architectural marvels both historic and modern, a cutting-edge art scene and world-class restaurants, allow us to show off the best of our alluring port city, starting with a plate of fresh local seafood prepared à la minute at Bleu. Our Oceanfront sanctuary offering a resort-like atmosphere minutes from the city’s key business districts and cultural landmarks opened in November 2015, and has 186 rooms, 3 food and beverage outlets including a grill & seafood restaurant, a modern Moroccan lobby lounge serving exquisite tea times and a poolside restaurant famous for its Sundays barbecues, an outdoor pool with private poolside cabanas, fitness center, and a stunning spa offering bespoke treatments that pay tribute to ancestral beauty techniques and ancient Moroccan traditions at Le Spa.
