Hotels in Habous Quarter, Casablanca

The Habous Quarter, also known as the New Medina, is a planned district built during the French protectorate in the 1930s. It blends traditional Moroccan architecture—including intricate archways, tiled zellij work, and covered souks—with modern urban planning. The area is a significant commercial and administrative hub south of the city center. Key landmarks include the Mahkama du Pacha, a courthouse with over 60 rooms, and the King Hassan II Mosque—the largest in Africa. The district's central market offers textiles, leather goods, and traditional crafts. It is located approximately 4 km from Casablanca's main train station, Gare Casa-Voyageurs.
