Rising above the capital in the iconic Mohammed VI Tower – Morocco’s tallest building – Waldorf Astoria Rabat-Salé has officially opened its doors.
This 55-room hotel is located between the 29th and 49th floors of the 55-story Mohammed VI Tower. The luxury hotel occupies 18 levels, a restaurant on the 31st floor, and the signature Peacock Alley lounge on the 30th floor.
Guy Hutchinson, president, Middle East and Africa, Hilton, said, “Morocco represents one of the world’s most rapidly evolving destinations, welcoming more than 18 million tourists in 2025, with Rabat playing a growing role in the national ambition to reach 20 million by 2030. We are proud to bring the iconic Waldorf Astoria brand to Rabat-Salé, setting a new benchmark for refined luxury in Morocco’s capital.”
The hotel is located within close reach of UNESCO World Heritage sites, including the Kasbah of the Udayas and Hassan Tower, the historic medinas of Rabat and Salé, and newly launched cultural landmarks such as the Grand Theatre of Rabat. Only minutes from Rabat-Salé International Airport, and connected via high-speed rail to Casablanca and Tangier, the luxury property delivers access to the capital and beyond.
A Thoughtfully Designed Cultural Retreat
Each of the 55 rooms and suites are designed to reflect the artistry and landscape of Morocco through sun-warmed marbles and intricate motifs. From deluxe rooms to three-bedroom suites, a dedicated personal concierge is on hand to tailor each guest’s stay – a signature of Waldorf Astoria hotels around the world.
With nearly 7,000 works, the hotel houses one of North Africa’s largest private art collections. Every corner of the hotel is decorated with art and artefacts – thousands of pieces that carry the stories of their makers from Morocco and beyond.
Flavours From Around the World
Peacock Alley, the hotel’s elegant social hub and a hallmark of the Waldorf Astoria brand, is home to its iconic clock – a planetarium-inspired masterpiece that traces the solar system alongside Morocco’s own time. Beneath its celestial canopy, guests can enjoy afternoon tea, coffee, or hand-crafted cocktails in a setting that celebrates cultural exchange and sophisticated hospitality.
Aldabaran, the signature restaurant by iconic chef Alain Ducasse, brings global prestige and refined gastronomy to Rabat. The menu reflects Ducasse’s focus on purity, seasonality and restraint, with highlights including line-caught sea bass with artichokes and radicchio, Wagyu beef tenderloin with polenta and pepper jus and roasted lamb saddle with vegetable caponata.
Elsewhere, guests can experience fresh Mediterranean flavours by acclaimed chef Lahcen Hafid at Brasserie Magnolia.
Upcoming openings include The Sapphire Room, a bold pan-Asian bar on the mezzanine floor where music, cocktails, and shareable bites set the rhythm of the night, and Après, the hotel’s coffee bar offering artisanal delights.
Wellness with Moroccan Soul
The Waldorf Astoria Spa overlooks the Atlantic Ocean, combining Moroccan wellness rituals with contemporary luxury. Guests can experience treatments rooted in Morocco’s healing practices like the traditional hammam, whilst the spa’s specialised wellness features include six treatment rooms, a detoxifying Iyashi dome, heated quartz sand table, ice room and sauna.
Beyond the spa, guests can enjoy an indoor pool, ocean-facing infinity pool, 24-hour state-of-the-art gym, and relaxation lounge.
Iconic Events
Guests can choose from almost 1300 square metres of event space, including a grand ballroom with ornate detailing and three meeting rooms. The hotel’s dedicated events team ensures that every occasion, from diplomatic or business receptions to milestone celebrations, is executed with precision, discretion and the signature personalised service that defines the Waldorf Astoria brand.
