Moevenpick Rebrands Hotel in Casablanca, Morocco

Mövenpick has taken over the management of the 184-room Husa Casablanca Plaza hotel in Morocco.

With a presence already in Tangier since 2001, the newly rebranded Mövenpick Hotel Casablanca is the group’s third venture in the vibrant and colourful destination of Morocco with the scheduled opening of Mövenpick Hotel Marrakesh early 2015.

"Morocco is growing as a thriving and vibrant tourist and business destination and this is reflected by our expansion into the marketplace. Mövenpick Hotel Casablanca is a significant addition to our Moroccan portfolio and gives us presence in three cities, alongside Marrakesh and Tangier," said Alan O’Dea, senior vice president Africa for Mövenpick Hotels & Resorts.

Renovated in 2011, the five-star Mövenpick Hotel Casablanca is ideally placed to enjoy the ancient Medina, Sacre Coeur Cathedral and Place Mohamed V. Other points of interest include the Hassan II Mosque, the Corniche and Habous Quarter.

"We are planning to carry out some improvements to certain areas of the hotel, while the hotel will remain in full operation, and this is to reflect the high Swiss standards Mövenpick Hotels & Resorts is renowned for," added O’Dea.

The hotel has 184 rooms and suites including four rooms suitable for the physically impaired and one apartment. All are equipped flat screen satellite TVs, free WiFi, air conditioning and tea and coffee-baking facilities.

The hotel also features a rooftop pool with city views, a Spa and Wellness Centre with hammam, massage and beauty treatments and is ideally positioned and equipped to stage banquets, conferences and business meetings with a ballroom, conference hall and four meeting rooms.
