Discovering Casablanca with Four Seasons Hotel Casablanca

“North of the city center, about a 6.5-kilometer (4-mile) drive from the Hotel, is La Sqala, an 18th-century fortified bastion that’s a tranquil escape from the city. The café has a rustic interior and a delightful garden surrounded by flower-draped trellises. Tajines are a specialty, and the menu features plenty of fish, as well as a selection of meat brochettes. My favorite dish is the chicken tagine with preserved lemons and red olives. It’s simple but classic.” — Christophe Laplaza, Executive Chef

“My favorite spot to have a drink is undoubtedly the bar at Rick’s Café, where you can relive the romance of the iconic movie “Casablanca” and order a signature cocktail inspired by Humphrey Bogart’s character. The best day to go for drinks is on Jazz Sunday when local musicians play. I recommend the Sour Jdid – a delicious mixture of whiskey sour, red vermouth, mashed lemons and a splash of sparkling water – named after the Boulevard Sour Jdid where Rick’s Café is located.” — Marouane Benfakir, Restaurant Manager

“Mahkama du Pach, also known as the Pacha’s courthouse, is an administrative building in the Habous area, famous for its turquoise carved wooden doorways, breathtaking stucco and patios that display Moorish influences. The Mahkama du Pacha rivals some of the finest architectural landmarks in the country. Reminiscent of the Alhambra in Granada, the fully operational parliamentary building provides abundant backdrops for incredible photos. It’s surrounded by tall buildings, and the entrance is easy to miss, so make sure you ask our Concierge to set up a guided visit.” — Mehdi Haider, Assistant Guest Relations Manager

“The Villa des Arts is housed in an art deco villa built in 1934. The gallery hosts regular exhibits of contemporary Moroccan and international art. My favorites are the local artists’ galleries – photography, sculptures, paintings. Discover the Villa des Arts through an architectural tour of the city’s art deco heritage, organized by our Concierge.” — Jihane Ayed, Director of Public Relations and Communications

“Casablanca is one of the region’s top surfing destinations, and locals love to catch waves early in the morning before heading to work. Our Hotel is actually in front of one of the most popular surf spots where the Quicksilver Pro competition takes place every year. For surf lessons, I recommend Casablanca Surf School, the oldest in the area and only a five-minute drive from our Hotel.” — Mohamed Bahyaoui, Spa Fitness Trainer

“My favorite place to satisfy my sweet cravings is Pâtisserie Bennis. This family-run shop has been around for three generations and is tucked away in one of the small alleyways of the Habous Medina. I love to try their different almond pastries, especially their signature cornes de gazelle – a crescent-shaped cookie filled with almond paste. You’ll always catch the father (or son) welcoming guests and sharing stories about his grandmother’s original recipes. I recommend going in the morning when the first fresh batch is out.” — Brian Gartner, Pastry Chef
