Royal Mansour Hotel Casablanca

As you approach Royal Mansour Hotel Casablanca’s marble-columned entrance, you could be forgiven for thinking Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman were about to step out the front door. Housed in a refurbished 1950s-era property, the second outpost of Morocco’s Royal Mansour brand puts a vintage spin on over-the-top grandeur, creating a luxury hotel that feels charmingly like a place out of time. But this refreshed retreat isn’t stuck in the past. A well-stocked bar (not a given in alcohol-averse Morocco) and a suite of upscale global restaurants cater to international jet-setters — as does a sensational spa. Apartment-style accommodations outfitted with all the required modern luxuries offer a spacious spot to rest your head after traversing the medina or one of the nearby beach clubs.
