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.
