A magnificent new Ritz-Carlton has debuted in Morocco — available for booking from 70,000 Bonvoy points

Morocco has welcomed a wave of spectacular hotel openings recently, and now Marriott Bonvoy members can enjoy a new luxurious choice in the capital city, Rabat.

Now welcoming guests, The Ritz-Carlton Rabat, Dar Es Salam is an expansive, palace-like establishment set amidst sprawling landscaped gardens, a forest, and the Royal Golf Dar Es Salam course.

This hotel, part of the Bonvoy program, features 117 rooms and suites, beginning with the deluxe garden-view rooms that offer private outdoor spaces, marble bathrooms, Asprey toiletries, and Frette linens. For those seeking more room, various suite options are available, including the impressive two-bedroom, 1,937-square-foot Royal Suite.

Beyond the guest rooms, visitors will immerse themselves in a hotel that celebrates Morocco's rich cultural and design heritage. Stunning features include Geb frescoes crafted from gypsum and domed muqarnas ceilings, often referred to as honeycomb vaulting, which beautifully harmonize with the modern amenities and renowned service of the Ritz-Carlton brand.

Dining experiences at this new Ritz-Carlton encompass a variety of options, from all-day fare at the Mediterranean Brasserie to afternoon tea and crafted cocktails at The Lobby Lounge. Guests can also enjoy poolside tacos and ceviche at Palapa, along with a 1920s-themed cocktail bar called Blind Tiger, reminiscent of the Prohibition era.

At The Ritz-Carlton Spa, guests can unwind in saunas, hammams (also known as Moorish or Turkish baths), or a Roman bath-inspired indoor pool adorned with white columns. Luxury treatments using Espa and marocMaroc skincare products are also available.

The hotel features a 24-hour fitness center, tennis courts, and access to three golf courses with a total of 45 holes at Royal Golf Dar Es Salam.

A standout feature of this Ritz-Carlton location is the vast pool complex, beautifully adorned with mosaics, bordered by towering palm trees, and surrounded by comfortable lounge chairs and cabanas.
