Sofitel Rabat Jardin des Roses sits on more than eight hectares of rose gardens and eucalyptus groves in Souissi, the enclave of royal palaces and foreign embassies southwest of the Moroccan capital's Royal Palace.

Its grounds constitute one of the largest private parkland estates attached to any urban hotel in Morocco.

About Sofitel Rabat Jardin des Roses
- The 1975 founding preceded Rabat's current luxury hotel era by nearly 50 years: the Four Seasons Rabat and Ritz-Carlton Rabat both opened in 2024, meaning the Jardin des Roses was the dominant luxury address in the Moroccan capital for decades before international brands arrived.
- The hotel's eight-hectare rose garden and eucalyptus grove estate in the Souissi diplomatic quarter represents one of the largest private urban parkland holdings attached to any hotel in Morocco — a significant ecological anomaly in a densely developed capital district.
- Entry-level rooms start at 344 sq ft (32 m²).
History
Sofitel Rabat Jardin des Roses ('Garden of Roses') is set within extensive rose gardens in Morocco's royal capital, a UNESCO World Heritage city. The hotel's large park-like grounds, adjacent to the Chellah necropolis and the Kasbah of the Udayas, offer a tranquil retreat from the city. As a Sofitel property in a city of embassies and government ministries, the hotel has long served the diplomatic community in Morocco's administrative capital. The rose gardens are a signature feature, reflecting both the hotel's name and the Moroccan tradition of fragrant garden culture.
The setting
Sofitel Rabat Jardin des Roses graces Avenue Imam Malek in the Souissi district, an enclave of embassies and elegant residences southwest of the Royal Palace. Set within more than eight hectares of rose gardens and eucalyptus groves, this urban forest estate has anchored the diplomatic quarter since 1965. The Royal Palace is 26 minutes away, the ancient Chellah necropolis 27 minutes, and the Museum of History and Civilizations 28 minutes, while the Mohammed VI Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art is a 26-minute drive. The hotel's eight-story profile overlooks the palace environs, lending a sense of viceregal grandeur befitting Rabat's most refined address for culture and leisure. 7 km from Rabat Beach along the North Atlantic Ocean. 12 km from Rabat–Salé Airport.
