11 Best Resorts in Casablanca

Casablanca offers plenty of accommodation options, but a lot of it is business-brisk, catering to the business traveler crowd which makes up the highest percentage of visitors to Morocco’s commercial hub.

This city is unfairly overlooked by many travelers in their rush to head to the historic Imperial cities of Marrakesh and Fes.

For those that do want to spend a night or two in Casablanca, to discover its cafe culture, visit the Hassan II Mosque, and admire the downtown district’s preserved Mauresque architecture, there’s a range of resorts and resort-style accommodation you can choose from instead of settling for a business hotel.

The resorts speckling Casablanca’s seafront are a good choice if you want a day or two to relax beside the sea after your Morocco travels before flying out. The resort-style hotels in the center of town offer full facilities while still allowing you to explore many of Casablanca’s highlights fully on foot.

To help you choose your hotel, use our list of the best resorts in Casablanca.
