The Sofitel Casablanca Tour Blanche is a five-star hotel and boasts every amenity you’d expect at that level — from a thoughtful concierge with encyclopedic knowledge of the city, to elegant touches in the guestrooms.
Aromatic white Oriental lilies fragranced the lobby, where even the light fixtures are works of art.
The hotel, with 171 rooms including 30 suites, has all the expected business services, from free Wi-Fi to interpreters on call, transportation arrangements, and golf excursions. The suites, of course, include butler service.
My room had a lush color scheme to contrast with its white walls: an indigo carpet, a deep purple velvet bed cover, and magenta accent pillows on the tan suede couch. A wall of windows provided a view all the way west to the Hassan II Mosque along the Atlantic coastline. The in-room coffeemaker was by Lavazza.
There was a separate room for the toilet, a walk-in shower, heated towel rack and toiletries from L’Occitane. The bathroom was all shiny black tile and white porcelain with beaten silvery metal accents. It was separated from the bedroom by sliding floor-to-ceiling mirrors.
My favorite breakfast included the distinctly Middle Eastern version of Eggs Benedict, where smoked salmon replaces ham on the toasted English muffin.
One night, for a change of pace from the elegant contemporary French cuisine at the L’Arabesque restaurant in the Tour Blanche, I walked over to the Ibis and dined in their informal Wok & Grill for an inexpensive and speedy meal.
I didn’t have time to check them out, but there’s a swimming pool, exercise facility, and a two-story spa where therapists combine Moroccan rituals with French beauty products.
Sofitel is one of the brands owned by Accor, a French hotelier. This property is lined up adjacent to two more Accor properties featuring lower price points. The next building to the north is the four-star Novotel Casablanca City Center, and just to the north of that is the budget-level Ibis Casablanca City Center. This means visitors have a choice not only of 718 rooms spread across the three Accor-branded properties, but three “levels” of restaurants as well.
