Fodor's Expert Review Four Seasons Hotel Rabat

The Four Season's third Moroccan property (after Marrakesh and Casablanca) is arguably the most stunning: perched on a clifftop overlooking the ocean, an 18th-century sultan’s summer residence has been reimagined as an ultraglamorous “palace by the sea." Dressed in calming neutral tones, there are nods to Moorish architecture and Moroccan craftsmanship everywhere, from the sumptuous carpets to zellij tilework, and a modern take on mashrabiya in gilded screens. The elegant, well-appointed rooms have marble bathrooms, and terraces and balconies with views over the beautifully manicured gardens or the Atlantic. You'll be spoiled for choice with seven different dining venues—including Mediterranean at Verdello and classic French cuisine at Brasserie Marie—and three pools: a resort-style pool, an ocean-view infinity pool, and a saltwater pool at the lavish spa.
