Overview
Rabat's Newest Landmark
Debuting in 2024 on part of a former royal estate, The Ritz-Carlton Rabat, Dar Es Salam sits adjacent to the Royal Golf Dar Es Salam's 440 acres of oak forest and landscaped gardens.
A grand entrance framed by Andalusian-style fountains leads into a palatial interior of intricate zellij tilework, carved cedarwood and muqarnas — the three-dimensional Arab-Andalusian ceiling ornamentation found throughout Morocco's finest palaces. All 117 rooms and suites feature hand-carved cedarwood details, zellij tiles and soft Berber rugs, overlooking either the lush gardens, tranquil lakes or the legendary Royal Golf Dar Es Salam course. The Ritz-Carlton Spa draws on Moroccan hammam rituals with rose-scented steam and argan oil treatments, while an expansive mosaic-tiled pool complex, lined with towering palms, anchors the resort's outdoor life.
Rabat's UNESCO-listed cultural capital. Designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2012, Rabat blends ancient and modern landmarks, and the hotel's setting places guests close to that history while remaining a world away from the city's bustle.
