Courtyard by Marriott Casablanca Downtown
A rooftop pool above Casablanca's Gauthier skyline
About this hotel
The rooftop pool is the reason to pick this hotel over another downtown business address: it sits above the fitness centre and sun terrace, giving guests a swim with a view over Casablanca's rooftops rather than a windowless basement pool tucked behind the gym. Days here tend to run on a business rhythm, an early lap before meetings, a return in the evening once the terrace has cooled off. The restaurant covers halal, vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free diets across lunch, dinner, high tea and cocktails, which makes it easy to keep the whole stay inside the hotel if a packed schedule doesn't leave time to go out. Family rooms are available alongside standard doubles, and the hotel sits about 25 km from Mohammed V International Airport and roughly 6 km from Hassan II Mosque, close enough for an evening taxi out to see the mosque once the pool deck empties.

Our take
This suits a business traveller who wants a reliable pool without leaving the hotel, and who values a rooftop view over pool size. Families travelling together will find the family rooms and varied dining useful, though the pool itself is built for a swim, not a full poolside day. Guests wanting a large resort-style pool or a beachfront setting should look elsewhere, since the appeal here is the rooftop location above a working business district rather than a leisure pool deck.
- ✓Ask for a room facing the pool deck if the rooftop view matters to your stay
- ✓Use the pool early morning or early evening, when the sun terrace is at its most comfortable
- ✓Book the high tea slot if you want a quieter alternative to the evening cocktail crowd

Why guests love itTravellers staying here with kids find the family rooms genuinely practical, air-conditioned with enough space to spread out after a day of sightseeing near Hassan II Mosque. The rooftop pool works well for a pre-dinner swim, small enough that it never feels crowded even with a family group, and the high tea option gives an easy way to feed kids something familiar before the more formal evening restaurant service starts.
