Rabat has long been a dismal scene for hotels. For years the Sofitel, an abysmal hellhole with dirty carpets, constant Norovirus outbreaks and bad service, was the only game in town. So I was delighted when I found out a new Four Seasons had opened and was excited to try it out when I was in Rabat visiting family earlier in May. The hotel sent a driver to pick us up at the airport in Casa, so the stay began then with a kind, knowledgable driver and a beautiful, spotless Range Rover which brought us to Rabat. We were met at the door to the hotel by someone who immediately took us to our suite and checked us in. The process was error-free and quick and our bags arrived quickly afterwards. The suite, located on the 8th floor, was enormous and exquisitely decorated, with ocean views and a large terrace. The entire hotel has been done in timeless Moroccan style, with marble and wood inlays on the walls and the rooms reflect the same attention to detail. Our suite was a large one bedroom, with 1.5 bathrooms and a beautiful tiled terrace. Our breakfast the next day was served to us on the terrace, you have your choice between a traditional Moroccan breakfast, American or Continental. We chose Moroccan and it didn't disappoint - harira, Moroccan breads, olives, eggs, fresh squeezed orange or grapefruit juice and more - it was absolutely delicious. A couple of items were missing from our tray but once informed, room service quickly remedied the error. The three days we were at this property passed all too quickly. Checkout was quick and efficient and we were off to catch a flight to Doha, with beautiful memories of our stay at this gorgeous hotel still in our minds and hearts. My family are in Rabat so it's a home city for me but I also feel like this hotel will become a second home as well - and I couldn't be happier about that.
