Barcelo Anfa Casablanca

Barcelo Anfa Casablanca stands at 44 Boulevard d'Anfa, on the avenue that runs from the city centre out towards the villa quarter. The design leans on art deco, the style Casablanca built itself in, using geometric patterns and warm materials rather than pastiche. The rooftop is the reason people book. Moroccan archways frame a terrace pool with a bar, and the view runs over the rooftops to the minaret of the Hassan II Mosque. Downstairs there is a spa with a traditional hammam, a fitness centre and Aquamarine, the restaurant, which cooks Moroccan and international dishes. Many rooms and suites face either the mosque or the boulevard. It suits a stay where you want a proper city hotel with a view, within walking distance of the art deco centre.
