Inside the new Waldorf Astoria Rabat Salé

Waldorf Astoria has officially opened its first property in Morocco with the debut of Waldorf Astoria Rabat Salé inside Mohammed VI Tower, the country’s tallest building positioned between Rabat and Salé along the Bouregreg River. The 55-key hotel introduces the brand to Morocco through a design approach shaped by celestial references, Moroccan craftsmanship, and Atlantic-facing views extending across the capital.

Dining is led by Aldabaran, the property’s signature restaurant from Michelin-starred chef Alain Ducasse, serving a menu centered on seasonal ingredients and Mediterranean-influenced fine dining. Peacock Alley acts as the hotel’s central lounge beneath a planetarium-inspired clock installation, while Brasserie Magnolia offers Mediterranean cuisine from chef Lahcen Hafid. Additional venues including pan-Asian bar The Sapphire Room and coffee concept Après are scheduled to open soon.
