Rabat – The international hospitality company Hilton has opened its first hotel in Casablanca, Morocco, in a sign that the country is becoming a more prominent tourist destination. 

The new unit, which is called Hilton Garden Inn, opened its doors on Wednesday, March 30, the hotel said in a press release.

The hotel has 155 rooms, including 9 suites, all of which are designed with a “cozy and refined layout”.

Guests will be able to experience the breathtaking surroundings of the hotel while enjoying a varied menu of locally-inspired food, Hilton said.
