Sofitel Casablanca Tour Blanche sits in the heart of the city, which is the main reason to choose it. It sits in the city centre and is rated among the five-star hotels of Casablanca, and guest reviews single out the location and the friendly staff. For a first visit that combination is worth a great deal, because Casablanca is a spread-out city where hours disappear in taxis, and a base near the Art Deco boulevards, the Central Market and the old medina lets you do much of your sightseeing on foot or with short rides. The brand brings French-influenced hospitality, so expect polished service, a hotel bar and restaurants that cater to business guests and leisure travellers alike, and rooms designed for comfort after a long day. It is a good choice for visitors who want international standards without the oceanfront price of the Four Seasons, and who value being close to the action more than a beach.
Location and getting around
The hotel is in the central district, so the Art Deco streets around Boulevard Mohammed V, the Central Market and the old medina are close, and the Hassan II Mosque is a short drive along the coast. Casa Port station, useful for trains to Rabat, is also within easy reach by taxi.
Traffic can be heavy at rush hour, so ask the front desk to arrange taxis and agree the fare or the meter before setting off. If you plan a Rabat day trip, a central base saves time on the way to the station.
Rooms and facilities
As a five-star property in a major city centre, it offers the standard comforts you would expect: air conditioning, a restaurant and bar, a fitness area and business services. Check the current room types and facilities on the booking page before booking, because refurbishments and room categories change, and ask for a higher floor and a quiet room if you are a light sleeper, since city-centre streets can be lively at night. Breakfast is worth including if the rate allows, because dining out early in the city is less convenient than elsewhere.
Who it suits and what to know: first-time visitors, business travellers and couples who want a central address with brand reliability. It is less of a resort than the Corniche hotels and less of a character stay than Hotel Le Doge, so choose it for convenience and service rather than atmosphere.
Compare rates across the week, because Casablanca prices rise during conferences and events, and look for flexible cancellation if your plans may change. Pair the stay with a morning at the Hassan II Mosque, an afternoon in the Art Deco centre and an evening meal at Rick's Cafe.
