Tourexpi
In
a city whose present day energy is intertwined with both its rich history and
its bright future, a new beacon of luxury hospitality opens today: welcome
to Four Seasons Hotel Rabat at Kasr Al Bahr.
Four
Seasons Hotel Rabat at Kasr Al Bahr
"At
Four Seasons we are always inspired by the destination that surrounds us in
planning a new experience for our guests, and that is certainly the case
in Rabat as we had the opportunity to bring new life into the walls
of such a storied landmark," says Rainer Stampfer, President, Global Operations, Hotels and
Resorts. "Our collection of luxury hospitality and residential properties
in Morocco is as diverse as the country itself, with each new opening
introducing something entirely new for both our local guests and international
travellers. We are so pleased to unveil the latest in this collection and open
our doors in this beautiful capital city."
Located
in the capital city's historic Quartier l'Océan on the shores of the Atlantic,
Four Seasons Hotel Rabat is the ideal base from which to explore the city's
fascinating mix of cultures, architecture, cuisine and the arts. Much of the
modern capital and historic city was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2012, thanks in part to
its "fertile exchange between the Arabo-Muslim past and Western
modernism," with its notable green spaces part of one of the continent's
most successful urban development plans.
From
the 12th century Kasbah des Oudaias with its boutiques and bistros to the
colourful shops that line the medina's alleyways nearby, the magnificent
Andalusian Gardens, and the ultra-modern Grand Theatre of Rabat designed
by Zaha Hadid, the Hotel's concierge team can plan an itinerary to suit
every interest.
"Rabat is
a small city with a big story to tell, from tales of its past as a pirate's
haven to its modern role as a world capital, and its bright future as an
emerging must-visit destination for global travellers," says General
Manager Gregory Viaud, musing on the arrival of Four Seasons as a
harbinger of a new era of luxury, glamour and international interest in the
city.
Be
among the first to experience the new Four Seasons Hotel Rabat at Kasr Al Bahr: Easily
reached via Rabat-Salé Airport (RBA) or from Casablanca just 45
minutes by high speed train or 90 minutes by car, Four Seasons is extending
a Grand Opening Offer with 15 percent savings on the
regular room rate. Call for reservations at +(212) 53 805 1200 or book online.
Rooms
with Views – and So Much More
The
Hotel's 200 rooms and suites are spread across several modern
and historic buildings featuring ocean or garden views, with most including
either a furnished balcony or terrace, and some also offering a private plunge
pool. Interior design by Roger Nazarian and Associates features
classic Moroccan touches such as custom-made Zellige tiles, stained glass
windows and brass and copper fixtures in modern rooms and suites. As always at
Four Seasons, numerous thoughtful details and at-one's-fingertips technology
allow guests to relax in luxurious comfort, whether travelling for business or
pleasure.
Guests
are spoiled for choice among the Hotel's accommodations, with standouts
including the Turquoise Ocean View Suite with its large living room,
full dining suite and furnished balcony to enjoy the sweeping views from the
top floor of the Hotel. The three-bedroom Moulay Slimane Presidential Suite – named for the
Moroccan king who led the original construction of the "Palace by the
Sea" two centuries ago - include residential-style features such as a
fitness room, office, media room and kitchenette. The Hotel's crowning glory is
the stunning two-storey Sultan's Riad, offering 950 square metres (more than 10,000
square feet) of lavish living, including a rooftop ocean-view infinity pool.
A
New Destination for Dining in the Capital
The
new Four Seasons is home to a collection of unique dining concepts overseen by
Executive Chef Sebastiano Spriveri, whose Four Seasons career has taken
him around the Mediterranean and throughout the Middle East for close
to three decades before arriving in Morocco.
Signature
dining experiences include Brasserie Marie, a Parisian-style bistro where guests can
enjoy grilled meats, fresh seafood and more for lunch and dinner, either
indoors or out on the patio. At Flamme, hearty Moroccan-spiced aromas tempt as fresh
breads, pizzas and other baked dishes emerge from three enormous copper-clad
ovens in the open kitchen at the heart of the restaurant, which is open for
breakfast and lunch.
In
the charming, sunlit setting of Noora Lobby Lounge, Executive Pastry Chef Gregory
Chrismant's French training and international experience are showcased at
what promises to be Rabat's most luxurious afternoon tea, and the
pastry counter is open morning until late evening for treats to enjoy on the
go. Bar Atlantique, open for after-work drinks with colleagues
through pre-dinner cocktails and late evening nightcaps, offers both the
classics and mixologist interpretations of the latest global trends.
More
to come: Later this year, Four Seasons will debut another signature
concept at Verdello, offering a culinary tour of the Mediterranean's
famous coastal cuisines. Also opening later this year is the
highly-anticipated Laila Lounge, a glamorous, club-like establishment hidden
within the Palace's oldest building and serving a connoisseur's cocktail menu
including rare cognacs and whiskies.
A
Resort-Style Oasis
Sprawling
across five hectares (twelve hectares) of historic and modern buildings and
courtyards amid lush gardens with the sound of waves and ocean breezes
throughout, guests may soon forget that they're actually in the heart of the
city. Here at Four Seasons Rabat, guests can enjoy two outdoor pools surrounded
by plush lounge chairs and private cabanas, and a range of dining options from
sunny outdoor terraces to chic casual bistros and sophisticated international
culinary experiences.
The Spa and Wellness Centre, opening later this year*, is
highlighted by an elegant indoor pool surrounded by columns lit from a skylight
high above. Skilled therapists will offer a menu of wellness rituals, healing
therapies and indulgent treatments in ten rooms and a beautiful Moroccan
hammam. The on-site beauty salon and barber shop ensure guests look their
best, whether heading to an important meeting in the city or out for a night on
the town. There's also a 24/7 fitness centre with inspiring ocean views and an
outdoor yoga studio – both now open.
*
Spa treatments can currently be enjoyed in a temporary space, or in the privacy
of one's room or suite.
More
to come: The new Four Seasons will soon add the brand's complimentary
children's program, Kids For All Seasons, in its own dedicated facility that
includes an outdoor garden. Days are filled with fun, creativity and
friendship, fully supervised by trained staff who love children. Vacationing
families will also appreciate the options for expanded suites and connecting
rooms throughout the Hotel.
Productive
Meetings and Glittering Social Occasions at Four Seasons
With
2,700 square metres (29,000 square feet) of striking event spaces, including the Royal Ballroom that can host up
to 1,000 guests, the new Four Seasons offers myriad opportunities for meeting
planners, event hosts and wedding couples to create the ideal setting for work
or celebration. There's also a junior ballroom, a selection of breakout rooms,
and an outdoor terrace for sun-soaked daytime events and evenings to remember
under starry skies.
With
expert planning and worry-free execution by the Hotel's experienced catering
and international culinary teams, all that's left to do is enjoy every moment.
