The Ritz-Carlton Rabat, Dar Es Salam

A royal garden retreat in Rabat
VERIFIED LUXURY
Hidden within a lush 440-acre forest, The Ritz-Carlton Rabat, Dar es Salam is a sanctuary of Moroccan elegance. Once part of a royal estate, the 2024-debuted property feels worlds away from the city’s bustle, yet Rabat’s historic heart is just a short drive away. You arrive at a grand entrance framed by Andalusian-style fountains, leading into a palatial interior adorned with intricate zellij tilework, carved cedarwood and muqarnas, 3D Arab-Andalusian architectural elements on the ceiling. 

The rooms and suites, overlooking lush gardens or the legendary Royal Golf Dar Es Salam, blend classic sophistication with Moroccan artistry. The spa, inspired by Moroccan hammam rituals, offers rose-scented steam and argan oil treatments, while the sprawling grounds invite long, meditative walks among olive groves and serene water features. Whether sipping mint tea in The Lobby Lounge, unwinding by the infinity pool or perfecting your swing on the championship golf course, every moment at Dar es Salam feels like an immersion into Morocco’s regal past and timeless beauty.

Our Inspector's Highlights

  • The moment you step into the property, you're greeted by the soothing sound of cascading fountains. Walking through The Ritz-Carlton Rabat, Dar es Salam’s archways — past gardens inspired by Andalusian palaces — feels like entering another era. Visit the palm garden to discover the beautiful mosaic-bordered pool.
  • The interiors are a masterpiece of local craftsmanship — hand-carved cedar ceilings, ornate zellij mosaics and velvet-lined lounges feel straight out of a sultan’s palace. Even the hallways, with their arched colonnades and glowing lanterns, make you slow down and take in the details.
  • Inspired by traditional Moroccan hammams, Le Spa at The Ritz-Carlton Rabat blends time-honored rituals with modern indulgence. Whether exfoliating with an amber-honey paste or soaking in a marble steam chamber infused with rose water, every treatment feels deeply immersive.
  • The luxury hotel shares its grounds with the Royal Golf Dar Es Salam, home to Morocco’s most prestigious golf tournament. Playing a round on its fairways, shaded by towering palms and punctuated by serene lakes, is a treat.
  • From a bountiful breakfast of local favorites like msemen(Moroccan pancakes) and honey straight from the comb, to a vintage-inspired nightcap at art deco-designed Blind Tiger, there are plenty of delicious ways to whet your appetite at The Ritz-Carlton Rabat.
