History
The Ritz-Carlton Rabat, Dar Es Salam opened in September 2024 as the brand's first property in Morocco, built in 2022 within 440 hectares of gardens adjacent to the Royal Golf Dar Es Salam. Pierre-Yves Rochon mixed 1930s Art Deco with Moroccan bronze moucharabiehs and zellij, a palatial house at the edge of the cork-oak forest.
The setting
The Ritz-Carlton Rabat, Dar Es Salam sits at kilometre nine of Avenue Mohammed VI in Souissi, Rabat's exclusive district of royal palaces, embassies, and diplomatic residences. The property sits within a lush palm grove directly adjacent to the Royal Golf Dar Es Salam, a 440-acre cork-oak forest with three championship courses designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr. and inaugurated in 1971, just 13 minutes on foot from the hotel's entrance. The UNESCO-listed medina and Hassan Tower lie a short drive away, while the secluded forest setting, hand-carved cedarwood interiors, and zellij tilework establish this as the capital's foremost retreat for understated regal seclusion.
