La Tour Hassan
The grande dame of Rabat — a neo-Moorish palace, a century of state dinners, gardens and suites of extraordinary space.
The seat of the Kingdom. Embassies, gardens, a twelfth-century Kasbah above the ocean. Quiet, formal, deeply Moroccan.
Rabat is where the Kingdom governs itself. Embassies, ministries, the royal residence — and, around them, one of the most agreeable Moroccan cities to walk. Clean, green, coastal, and almost entirely missed by the tourist circuit.
The old Kasbah des Oudayas — a twelfth-century citadel above the Bouregreg estuary — is the Kingdom's most refined small medina. White-and-blue walls, Andalusian gardens, a café on the ramparts where the Atlantic opens.
We compose Rabat as a one-to-two-day interlude, usually paired with Tangier or Casablanca. For clients with diplomatic or governmental interests, longer stays are arranged through our Maison office on Avenue Mohammed V.
The grande dame of Rabat — a neo-Moorish palace, a century of state dinners, gardens and suites of extraordinary space.
A Relais & Châteaux on the Souissi hill — seven suites, private pools, the feel of a private house more than a hotel.
A family palace in the diplomatic quarter, opened to the Maison for entire-property stays. Staff, chef, hammam, garden.
A garden hotel of eighteen suites in citrus orchards, a short drive from the Oudayas. The best-kept secret in the city.
A private walk through the Kasbah des Oudayas — the oldest living quarter of Rabat — with a historian, and a tea in the Andalusian gardens closed to the public.
An after-hours private visit to the Chellah necropolis — Roman forum, Merenid minaret, stork nests, a garden of almond trees.
A morning at the Hassan Tower and the Mausoleum of Mohammed V — with a protocol officer from the royal cabinet. The Kingdom's quietest national monument.
A guided private viewing of the Mohammed VI Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art — the Kingdom's finest modern collection — with the chief curator.
A short brief from the Maison on the season, the rhythm and the essentials. Bespoke advice upon enquiry.
