Casablanca Grand Hotel
Two pools, rooftop and indoor, plus a hot tub
About this hotel
Casablanca Grand runs two pools rather than one, a rooftop deck and a separate indoor pool, both backed by spa facilities, a sauna and a hot tub for the wind-down after either. The children's playground next to the pool area makes this a genuinely family-oriented five-star stay, with a child-friendly buffet covering breakfast alongside fresh pastries and a wider fruit and juice selection. Rooms carry city views and soundproofing, a detail that matters for anyone sharing a floor with an active family hotel. The twelve-minute walk to Mall of Arabia puts shopping and dining within reach, and Red Sea Mall and the Floating Mosque are both a short drive away for a day out.

- Soundproofed rooms
Our take
This is one of the stronger family picks on this list, with two pools and a playground covering both adult wellness time and a genuine kids' space, rather than a single pool trying to serve both. It suits a family wanting a five-star base with real amenity range, though couples chasing a quiet adults-only pool deck will find it livelier than they might want.
- ✓Use the indoor pool during the afternoon when the rooftop deck is busiest with families from the playground.
- ✓Book the child-friendly buffet breakfast in advance if travelling with picky eaters, it covers more ground than the standard menu.
- ✓Walk to Mall of Arabia rather than drive, twelve minutes is faster than finding parking nearby.
Why we love it
- Rooftop and indoor pools on the same property
- Children's playground next to the pool area
- Hot tub and sauna for the adults
- Twelve-minute walk to Mall of Arabia
Why guests love itTwo pools make the biggest practical difference here, since a family can split up, kids at the rooftop deck near the playground while an adult slips off to the quieter indoor pool or the hot tub without anyone missing out. The child-friendly buffet at breakfast gets noticeably more use than the standard menu, a sign of how many families actually book this hotel. Soundproofed rooms turn out to matter more than expected, given how much activity the playground and pool area generate through a typical afternoon.
