Kenzi Tower Hotel

The Kenzi Tower occupies the 28-storey B tower of the Twin Center on Boulevard Zerktouni, one of the city's best-known skyline landmarks. The hotel has 237 rooms and suites, from about 38 square metres up to 225 square metres, and most have city or sea views. Its own site describes the area as the trendiest and most vibrant downtown setting in Casablanca, close to shopping and the business district.

Location and getting around: the Twin Center sits in the commercial heart of the Maarif area, with shops, cafes and restaurants around the base. It is about thirty minutes from Mohammed V airport by road, depending on traffic, and a taxi ride from the old medina, Art Deco centre and the Hassan II Mosque. It suits visitors who like a lively, modern neighbourhood to a historic one.

Rooms and facilities: room types include Deluxe Sky rooms and twins, with generous space and free Wi-Fi. The hotel lists a spa with an indoor pool and a fitness centre, and its dining includes restaurants and bars with high-floor views. Higher floors give the best panoramas of the city and the Atlantic on clear days.

Who it suits: business travellers, shoppers, and mid-range visitors who want a modern tower hotel with real facilities at fair prices. Guests who want an old-town atmosphere may prefer the Hyatt or Le Doge. Good to know: request a high floor, check breakfast inclusion, and ask about shuttle or taxi options for early flights. The area is busy, so ask for a quiet room if you are a light sleeper. The towers are a short walk from the main shops of the district, which is handy for evening strolls, and the hotel serves conferences, so weekdays can be busy in the lobby and at breakfast. Families should ask about room configurations before booking, since twin and sky rooms differ in size.
