Radisson Hotel Casablanca Gauthier La Citadelle
One of the few genuine outdoor pools in Casablanca
About this hotel
Outdoor pools are the rarer format among Casablanca's hotels, and this Radisson property is built around one properly: a sun terrace, outdoor swimming pool and solarium together, rather than a small plunge pool squeezed onto a terrace. The restaurant leans family-friendly with Mediterranean and Moroccan dishes covering halal, vegetarian, gluten-free and dairy-free diets, served across settings that range from traditional to romantic depending on the evening. Rooms come with air-conditioning, private bathrooms and flat-screen TVs, and family or interconnected rooms make it a practical choice for groups travelling with kids. The hotel sits in Casablanca city centre, about 26 km from Mohammed V International Airport, with Hassan II Mosque and the Old Medina both reachable without a long taxi ride, useful for pairing pool time with an afternoon of sightseeing.

Our take
This suits families and groups who want a genuine outdoor pool afternoon rather than a quick business-hotel swim, and who'll use the solarium on cooler days when the water itself feels less inviting. The interconnected room option makes it a practical pick for larger families. Solo business travellers wanting a fast indoor swim before an early meeting will find better options elsewhere in the city, since this hotel is built around the outdoor pool as a real feature, not an afterthought.
- ✓Book between May and October for the best outdoor pool weather, since the water cools noticeably in Casablanca's wetter months
- ✓Use the solarium on cooler days rather than skipping pool time altogether
- ✓Request an interconnected room if travelling with kids, since it's set up specifically for family groups
Why we love it
- A genuine outdoor swimming pool
- A solarium for cooler days
- Family and interconnected rooms
- Close to Hassan II Mosque and the Old Medina
Why guests love itFamilies staying here find the interconnected rooms and outdoor pool a genuinely workable combination, especially with the solarium giving kids somewhere to warm up between swims on cooler days. The Mediterranean and Moroccan restaurant covers enough dietary ground that mealtimes rarely become a negotiation, and the walk to Hassan II Mosque makes for an easy half-day out without needing to plan around nap times too tightly.
