The Ritz-Carlton Rabat, Dar Es Salam.

Set on a former royal estate within a 440-acre forest, the Ritz-Carlton Rabat, Dar Es Salam feels less like a city hotel and more like a secluded sanctuary. The property is anchored by the prestigious Royal Golf Dar Es Salam, where Robert Trent Jones-designed fairways wind through ancient oak trees. Inside, the design balances Art Deco proportions with intricate Moroccan craftsmanship, featuring carved cedarwood, muqarnas ceilings, and hand-cut zellij tilework. Each of the 117 guestrooms opens onto a private terrace overlooking the lush palm groves or the manicured golf course. Beyond the links, the hotel offers a Romanesque indoor pool, a spa rooted in hammam traditions, and the Blind Tiger—a 1920s-style speakeasy that provides a sharp, intimate contrast to the airy Mediterranean brasserie.
