The Méridien Casablanca: contemporary elegance in the heart of Morocco

In the new Le Méridien Casablanca, Studio Marco Piva merges international luxury and Moroccan identity, creating a hotel that celebrates light, material, and local culture. A landmark of hospitality where architecture becomes a narrative, experience, and art of welcoming.

The soul of Le Méridien Casablanca

The new Le Méridien Casablanca, designed by Studio Marco Piva, represents a refined synthesis of high-level architecture projects and interior design. Located in the vibrant Ain Sebaa neighborhood, the five-star hotel becomes a symbol of contemporary hospitality and a dialogue between local identity and international vision. Aesthetic and material research is at the core of the project: natural materials, textures inspired by sand, warm tones, and essential forms intertwine in a harmonious balance. Every detail tells the Moroccan tradition through an elegant and contemporary language, creating a sensory experience that combines comfort, light, and sophistication.

An entrance that welcomes and narrates

The lobby of Le Méridien, reimagined as Le Méridien Hub, transforms the traditional hall into a space for meeting and discovery. Natural light filters through architectural elements that evoke Moroccan mashrabiya, creating a play of shadows and reflections on surfaces of wood and light stone.
A sculptural chandelier dominates the space, amplifying the grandeur of the hall and creating a timeless atmosphere of elegance. Next to the reception, the lounge area invites relaxation with custom furnishings and comfortable seating, where design becomes a tool for connecting guests and place. The monumental staircase, made of metal and glass, guides the gaze upwards, symbolizing a fluid passage between space and light.

Functional Elegance for Business and Events

The hotel's business area welcomes spaces designed for meetings, events, and ceremonies. The Grand Ballroom, with its spacious and symmetrical proportions, stands out for its flexibility and the harmony of its geometries. Precious materials, neutral tones, and refined diffused lighting create an elegant and professional setting. Every space, from the prefunction area to the main hall, reflects the project's philosophy: combining functionality and beauty, offering a high-level hospitality experience. Attention to details, such as vertical panels, artistic niches, and carpeting inspired by dunes, creates a coherent and evocative environment.

Ocean Blue and Moroccan Roots

At the Le Safran restaurant, the design is inspired by the movement of the ocean and the colors of Casablanca. The walls covered in deep blue ceramics evoke the waves of the Atlantic, while the decorative weaves recall local craftsmanship. The furniture in wood and natural fabrics balance amber and light gray tones, creating a welcoming and sophisticated atmosphere. The warm light and details in colored glass complete the scene, transforming the restaurant into a true hub of cultural exchange, open to the city and the conviviality of travel.

Rooms blending comfort and culture

The 145 rooms and suites at Le Méridien Casablanca embody the brand's philosophy through elegance and authenticity. Each space is designed as a bright retreat, where comfort intertwines with Moroccan tradition. The headboards in graphic fabrics, tactile surfaces, and contemporary mashrabiya between the bedroom and bathroom showcase a poetic and functional approach. The warm and natural atmosphere encourages daily well-being, providing a stay experience that combines timeless design, culture, and hospitality.
