"Housed in the former El Mansour hotel, which was once a local icon dating back to 1953, this new outpost trades riad romanticism for something more sculpted and urbane. Marble from Brazil to Namibia lines the interiors, an Amazonian aquarium anchors the lobby and suites range from understated to unabashedly themed, some with record players, others with couture gowns in glass cases. With a cocktail bar that defies local norms, three globally focused restaurants, and a spa that rivals any in the country, this is Royal Mansour, recalibrated for Casablanca." - Tablet Hotels
