Royal Hideaway Casablanca
Casablanca, Morocco · Royal Hideaway · Core Luxury
Barceló bought this 1980s hotel, formerly the 279-room Hotel Farah Casablanca, as part of an 80 million euro deal covering two Moroccan properties in 2023, then reopened it in December 2025 as Royal Hideaway Casablanca, the brand's first hotel in Morocco and on the continent. Spread across 17 floors with 310 rooms and 14 suites, the renovation drew on the Art Deco vocabulary that fills Casablanca's colonial-era Ville Nouvelle, one of the world's largest concentrations of 1920s and 1930s Art Deco architecture.

About Royal Hideaway Casablanca
- Barcelo paid roughly 80 million euros for this hotel and a sister property in Rabat in 2023; both had operated as Hotel Farah before the rebrand.
- It reopened on 18 December 2025 as the first Royal Hideaway hotel in Morocco and in Africa, expanding from 279 rooms as the Farah to 310 rooms and 14 suites.
- The hotel's design draws on Casablanca's Art Deco Ville Nouvelle, a colonial-era district whose concentration of 1920s and 1930s buildings was once submitted for UNESCO World Heritage status.
History
Royal Hideaway Casablanca is the luxury flag of Spain's Barcelo Hotel Group in Morocco's largest city, on Avenue des Forces Armees Royales in the heart of Casablanca. The 17-floor property was reborn as a Royal Hideaway following a comprehensive transformation and refurbishment, its design drawing inspiration from Casablanca's celebrated Art Deco architectural legacy.
The hotel offers 310 rooms, including 14 suites, positioning it as a refined urban luxury address in the city centre.
