Washington Hotel

Wrapped around a central corridor on Boulevard Rahal El Meskini, the Washington Hotel places guests a short walk from the Art Deco core of downtown Casablanca, where 1930s French Protectorate facades line the streets between the central market and Place Mohammed V.

Rooms are soundproofed and air-conditioned, each fitted with a minibar, safe, and flat-screen TV; city views open from upper floors reached by elevator. The on-site restaurant, bar with happy hour, and coffee house cover most meals without leaving the building, and room service extends that range further.

The business center and meeting facilities draw a corporate crowd, which partly explains the 24-hour front desk and express check-in. Parking is available on-site — a practical edge in a city where street space near the commercial district is scarce.
