Located within an iconic location – the newly opened 55-storey Mohammed VI Tower, which features on the 200 dirham banknote and is the tallest building in the country and third tallest in Africa – the property boasts sensational vistas.

Found on the banks of the Bouregreg River, you’re close to UNESCO World Heritage Sites like the Kasbah of the Udayas and Hassan Tower, the medinas of both Rabat and Salé, and the Zaha Hadid-designed Grand Theatre of Rabat.

“Morocco represents one of the world's most rapidly evolving destinations, welcoming more than 18 million tourists in 2025, with Rabat playing a growing role in the national ambition to reach 20 million by 2030,” Guy Hutchinson, President, Middle East & Africa (MEA) for Hilton said.

“We are proud to bring the iconic Waldorf Astoria brand to Rabat-Salé, setting a new benchmark for refined luxury in Morocco's capital."

Spanning 55 rooms and suites, each with a dedicated personal concierge on hand, Waldorf Astoria Rabat Salé promises a luxurious stay.

One for culture vultures, there are more than 7,000 artworks on display across the hotel’s rooms and public spaces, amounting to one of North Africa’s largest private art collections.

If relaxation is your priority on your trip to Morocco, you can experience traditional local healing practices at the Waldorf Astoria Spa which overlooks the Atlantic Ocean from the 31st and 32nd floors.

Home to six treatment rooms, a hammam, a detoxifying Iyashi dome, a heated quartz sand table, an ice room and sauna, every element of your wellness routine is covered. Plus, you can lounge with a view by the gorgeous indoor pool, or get a workout in at the 24-hour gym.

Foodwise, you can grab afternoon tea, coffee and cocktails from Peacock Alley, the brand’s signature eatery.

The property features celestial motifs throughout its design, and it’s here that you’ll find the planetarium-inspired clock that traces the solar system alongside Morocco’s own time.

Aldabaran, named after the star that serves as the bull’s eye within the Taurus installation, comes from world-renowned chef Alain Ducasse. The menu is all about seasonality, and highlights include the roasted lamb saddle with vegetable caponata and the line-caught sea bass with artichokes and radicchio.

At Brasserie Magnolia, you can savour more Mediterranean plates from chef Lahcen Hafid. The hotel is also set to introduce The Sapphire Room, a pan-Asian bar, and Après, a coffee bar, in the coming weeks and months.
