Wellness Concept & Strategy for the Four Seasons Hotel Rabat

The Four Seasons Hotel Rabat Kasr Al Bahr is a luxury hotel located in Morocco’s capital city. Meaning “castle of the sea,” the original palace was built overlooking the Atlantic Ocean as a royal summer property in the 19th century, before later becoming a military hospital called “Marie Feuillet”, until 1999. Since then, the 12 acre cliffside property has undergone a significant renovation, and will finally reopen as a 204-room luxury hotel featuring a new emblematic Wellness Center that will offer well-appointed treatment rooms and an indoor pool.

WE(i) Think collaborated with Interior Designers Atelier Pod to provide a world-class Wellness experience of 5.000 sq m marked by renowned personalised service, quality excellence and an innovative approach bringing together traditional Moroccan art of wellbeing and latest advancements in the field.

Rethinking and disrupting the definition of Arabian Spa, we conceptualised a wellness experience inspired by the culture and heritage context and taking it to the next level.
