Hilton opens new Conrad in Morocco
Hilton has marked the first brand entry into Morocco for Conrad Hotels & Resorts with Conrad Rabat Arzana.
Situated north of Harhouara just a short distance from the historical centre of Rabat, the 120-room property taps into the rich cultural identity, landscape and history of the city it calls home. The grand lobby features curated artworks, plush fabrics and ornate marble, while guestrooms – ranging from deluxe rooms to the 632m² Royal Suite – fuses rich cream, deep pine, blue hues and soft earth tones throughout their interior detailing and custom-designed furniture.
Conrad Rabat Arzana also boasts a variety of options from signature dining to poolside refreshments. 99 Sushi Bar & Restaurant brings Japanese gastronomy to the Moroccan food scene, while Feuillage is a serene tea lounge adjacent to the hotel’s lobby serving a selection of premium Moroccan teas, unique coffee blends and delectable bites. La Brise Brasserie also pays homage to Moroccan tradition and combines classical nuances with a modern design. The restaurant offers an up-market French and Moroccan all-day experience, plating up local and international breakfast specialties as well as traditional aromatic Tajines in the evening. Lastly, L’Oursin Pool Bar & Lounge serves dishes from the earth and ocean, paired with signature cocktails and an eclectic wine collection. The space transitions from day to night, providing a backdrop for alfresco lunches and sunset dining experiences.
The spa meanwhile spans two floors and comprises six wellness rooms, a spa suite complete with a private bathroom, treatment space and outdoor terrace. The venue also features a Moroccan hammam, multi-sensorial thermal experiences, lounging sun deck with a pool, and a beauty salon. The 24-hour fitness centre rounds out the amenities and offers personalised coaching services.
Amongst the conferences and events spaces is the Saphir ballroom, which can accommodate up to 200 guests. The hotel also has two boardrooms and an outdoor terrace spanning 1,345ft² to host a reception of up to 150 guests. All event rooms feature flexible spaces, curated F&B options and audio-visual and technical equipment to meet the needs of both small and large groups.
