Movenpick takes over 184-room Casablanca hotel

Mövenpick Hotels & Resorts has taken over the management of the 184-room Husa Casablanca Plaza, giving the company its first property in the city and increasing the number of signed hotels in the country to three.

With a presence already in Tangier since 2001, the newly rebranded Mövenpick Hotel Casablanca, located in the heart of the business district, will be followed by the opening of Mövenpick Hotel Marrakesh in early 2015.

Mövenpick Hotels & Resorts senior vice president Africa, Alan O’Dea commented: “Morocco is growing as a thriving and vibrant touristic and business destination and this is reflected by our expansion into the marketplace.”

“Mövenpick Hotel Casablanca is a significant addition to our Moroccan portfolio and gives us presence in three cities, alongside Marrakesh and Tangier.”

Renovated in 2011, the five-star Mövenpick Hotel Casablanca has 184 rooms and suites and one apartment.

The hotel features a rooftop pool with city views, a spa and wellness centre with hammam and massage and beauty treatments.

MICE facilities include a ballroom, conference hall and four meeting rooms.
