The Ritz-Carlton Rabat, Dar Es Salam
A royal garden retreat in Rabat
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.
The Rooms
- Each of The Ritz-Carlton Rabat, Dar es Salam’s 117 rooms features hand-carved cedarwood details, intricate zellij tiles and soft Berber rugs underfoot. The fusion of traditional Moroccan artistry with plush, modern furnishings creates a space that is both elegant and deeply comforting.
- Whether overlooking the lush gardens, tranquil lakes or the legendary golf course, the private terraces offer a respite. Sipping mint tea as the sun sets over the eucalyptus forest is a quiet luxury worth lingering over.
- The bathrooms are grand, with deep soaking tubs, rainfall showers and marble finishes that resemble a Moroccan hammam. Touches like fragrant Asprey bath products and plush robes make every moment inside feel indulgent.
- The suites elevate luxury with grand chandeliers, ornate archways and separate living areas fit for entertaining. You will want to curl up on a velvet chaise lounge with a book.
- One of the most opulent accommodations on the property, The Majestic Suite spans an expansive layout with soaring ceilings, a dining room and an oversized terrace overlooking the estate. With handcrafted furnishings, tip-to-toe marble finishes and dedicated butler service, this palatial suite is like a regal retreat.
