Best Hotels in Rabat

Rabat's finest hotel occupies a 17-hectare rose garden estate in the diplomatic quarter. The property blends French colonial elegance with Moroccan design — marble halls, manicured gardens, and a full spa. The restaurant serves excellent Moroccan-French cuisine. It feels like a private estate.

Best for: Luxury in a garden setting

Rabat's landmark grand hotel — a palatial property next to the Hassan Tower and Mohammed V Mausoleum. The Andalusian gardens, Moorish arches, and traditional decor create an atmosphere of governmental grandeur. Heads of state stay here. The location is unbeatable for sightseeing.

Best for: Central luxury with history

A beautifully restored riad inside the Kasbah des Oudaias — one of the most scenic locations in Morocco. Wake to Atlantic Ocean views, walk blue-and-white streets to breakfast, and watch sunset from the terrace. Only 6 rooms means personal service and a genuine feeling of discovering Rabat's soul.

Best for: Atmospheric Kasbah stay

An Art Deco hotel on Rabat's grand boulevard with contemporary rooms, a rooftop terrace, and walking distance to the medina, Hassan Tower, and parliament. Part of the MGallery collection — reliable quality with local character.

Best for: Central modern comfort

A restored riad in the heart of Rabat's medina with a traditional courtyard, fountain, and rooftop terrace. The rooms blend Moroccan craft with modern comfort. Walking distance to Rue des Consuls shopping and the Kasbah. Breakfast is generous and homemade.

Best for: Traditional medina experience

A sleek contemporary hotel in the government quarter with a rooftop pool, modern rooms, and a location near parliament and Avenue Mohammed V. Business-friendly but equally good for tourists wanting modern amenities near the medina.

Best for: Modern business travel

A charming medina riad near Bab el-Had — the main entrance to the medina and tram stop. The owners are famously hospitable, the courtyard is a peaceful retreat, and the home-cooked dinners (request in advance) are exceptional. Simple rooms, big heart.

Best for: Warm hospitality

A clean, modern Ibis in the Agdal neighbourhood near the tram line. Rooms are small but well-maintained, WiFi is reliable, and the tram connects you to the medina and Hassan Tower in minutes. No character, but perfect execution of the "clean, cheap, central" formula.

Best for: Reliable budget option

An art-filled riad with a lush garden courtyard in the quieter southern medina. The rooms are individually decorated with Moroccan art and textiles. Cooking classes can be arranged, and the terrace has views over the medina rooftops. A creative, personal alternative to standard hotels.

Best for: Creative travellers

A 1930s Art Deco landmark on Rabat's main boulevard overlooking the parliament. The rooms are basic but the location is unbeatable, the terrace cafe is a Rabat institution, and the faded colonial grandeur is atmospheric. A budget classic.

Best for: Budget with character and location
