Palaces, Tea, and Five-Star Views: Rabat’s Tourism Renaissance

Rabat, Morocco’s capital, is experiencing a boom in luxury tourism, with five high-end hotels under construction and a surge in international visitors. Among its standout offerings is the Four Seasons Hotel, housed in an 18th-century former royal palace turned military hospital, where guests can stay in any of 200 rooms and suites, including those once occupied by Sultan Moulay Slimane. While it has undergone some remodeling, the building retains a distinctly Moroccan architectural heritage. Nearby, the oceanfront Conrad Rabat Arzana has proven particularly popular with tourists from Asia, especially Taiwan. It offers a blend of local culture and Asian cuisine. But visitors aren’t just seeking luxury—they’re also visiting to explore Rabat’s unique culture, from its ancient ruins and majestic towers to its cuisine and beaches.
