Welcome to the Waldorf Astoria Rabat Salé
The newly unveiled Waldorf Astoria Rabat Salé is situated within the iconic Mohammed VI Tower, a striking 55-story skyscraper that holds the title of the tallest building in Morocco and ranks as the third tallest in Africa. If you are in search of a hotel that offers breathtaking views in Morocco, this luxurious property is second to none. Nestled alongside the banks of the Bouregreg River, guests will find themselves in close proximity to UNESCO World Heritage Sites, including the Kasbah of the Oudayas, the Hassan Tower, and the historic medinas of Rabat and Salé, alongside the Grand Theater of Rabat designed by the renowned architect Zaha Hadid.
“Morocco is one of the fastest-growing destinations in the world, welcoming over 18 million tourists by 2025, with Rabat playing an increasing role in the national ambition to reach 20 million by 2030,” stated Guy Hutchinson, President for the Middle East and Africa at Hilton. “We are proud to bring the iconic Waldorf Astoria brand to Rabat-Salé, thereby establishing a new benchmark for refined luxury in the Moroccan capital.”
Unparalleled Amenities and Artistic Elegance
Comprising 55 lavish rooms and suites, each equipped with a dedicated personal concierge, the Waldorf Astoria Rabat Salé promises a truly indulgent stay. For culture enthusiasts, the hotel boasts an impressive collection of over 7,000 art pieces displayed throughout the rooms and public spaces, making it one of the largest private art collections in North Africa. If relaxation is a priority during your Moroccan getaway, you can explore traditional local healing practices at the Waldorf Astoria Spa, which offers stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean from the 31st and 32nd floors.
The spa features six treatment rooms, a hammam, a detoxifying Iyashi dome, a quartz sand heated table, an ice room, and a sauna, ensuring that every aspect of your wellness routine is catered to. Guests can also unwind by the beautiful indoor pool or work out in the 24-hour fitness center. Culinary experiences at the hotel are equally impressive, with the iconic Peacock Alley serving afternoon tea, coffee, and cocktails. The property’s design is adorned with celestial motifs, including a planetarium-inspired clock that illustrates the solar system alongside the current time in Morocco.
Dining at Aldabaran, named after the star that serves as a target in the Taurus constellation and helmed by world-renowned chef Alain Ducasse, promises a menu focused on seasonal ingredients. Highlights include roasted lamb saddle with vegetable caponata and line-caught sea bass with artichokes and radicchio. For a taste of Mediterranean cuisine, guests can enjoy dishes crafted by chef Lahcen Hafid at the Brasserie Magnolia. Additionally, the hotel is set to introduce The Sapphire Room, a pan-Asian bar, and Après, a café-bar, in the coming weeks and months.
