The Glorious Era of a Legendary Palace

In spring Casablanca, morning light pierces through the sea mist, quietly falling on the exquisitely carved facade of Royal Mansour Casablanca. Reopening in 2024, Royal Mansour Casablanca, an "urban sanctuary" transformed from a legendary 1953 palace, cuts through the spring morning light with its Art Deco geometric lines. The vintage red shutters preserved on the hotel's exterior still tell the glittering stories of when it was Casablanca's first five-star hotel, welcoming celebrities like Hemingway and the Duke of Windsor. The 149 rooms and suites draw inspiration from Art Deco, creating a wonderful rhythm through the collision of marble, fine hardwood, luxurious textiles, and geometric carpets. At Le Rooftop restaurant, the chef is now orchestrating a concert of Mediterranean and North African flavors, while the silhouette of Hassan II Mosque appears and disappears in the morning mist. As nature awakens, the hotel presents spring's elegant ritual with a distinctive chocolate egg. Inspired by the hotel building's Art Deco style, the shell is masterfully carved from deep, smooth dark chocolate. Its refined geometric lines and symmetrical composition, like light ripples frozen in time, pay sweet tribute to the glorious era of this legendary palace. Gently crack open the shell, and silky hazelnut praline flows out like satin in the afternoon spring sunlight, while the embedded nut pieces add layers and surprises to this taste feast. Selected roasted nuts garnish the creation: the richness of hazelnuts, the fragrance of almonds, and the creamy notes of pecans unfold layer by layer. The crisp chocolate paired with creamy praline performs a sensory symphony unique to spring. Additionally, the spring invitation extends to Le Rooftop restaurant's terrace on the 23rd floor, where the hotel offers a new Easter afternoon tea. Accompanied by mint tea and exquisite desserts, listen to the city's morning melody awakening amid waves and calls to prayer, sharing a poetic spring afternoon. The chocolate egg is available for purchase at the hotel from April 7 to 27. Easter afternoon tea is served from 3 PM to 6 PM between April 7 and 27.
