Idou Anfa Hôtel & Spa
An indoor pool with an ocean and mosque view
About this hotel
The draw here is a rare pairing for a business-district hotel: a panoramic view over both the ocean and Hassan II Mosque, paired with an indoor swimming pool that keeps working regardless of Casablanca's wetter months. Mornings tend to start with a swim before the business district wakes up, and the sauna and hammam give a second wellness stop later in the day, part of a spa built for body and beauty treatments alongside the pool itself. The hotel leans into a friendly, personalised style of service rather than a purely corporate one, and its central location keeps everything from meetings to the mosque within easy reach. It's not a hotel built for a poolside afternoon, more a place where the indoor pool and hammam bookend a working day.

- 4-star business hotel
Our take
This suits a business traveller who wants a genuine sea view without a beachfront address, and who values a reliable indoor pool over a bigger outdoor one. The personalised service style works well for solo travellers on repeat trips who want to be recognised at check-in. Guests hoping for an outdoor pool deck or resort-style lounging should book elsewhere, since the appeal here is the view and the indoor wellness pairing rather than pool size.
- ✓Ask specifically about room category if the ocean and mosque view matters, since it isn't guaranteed on every floor
- ✓Check sauna and hammam hours separately from pool hours at check-in
- ✓Swim early morning for the quietest pool time before the business district fills up
Why we love it
- A panoramic view over the ocean and mosque
- An indoor pool paired with sauna and hammam
- Personalised, friendly service
- Central business-district location
Why guests love itTravellers staying here for the sauna and hammam find the wellness side genuinely full rather than a token gym add-on, with body and beauty treatments extending well past a basic massage menu. The indoor pool means a rainy Casablanca morning doesn't cancel the swim, and the panoramic view from the upper floors makes even a short stay feel worth the central business-district price.
