Located 50 yards from the beach and Atlantic Ocean, Club
Val d'Anfa Hotel is situated in the vibrant La Corniche area of Casablanca, with its
restaurants, bars, and nightclubs. While not a truly upscale property like Casablanca's Sofitel
or Hyatt Regency, this upper-middle-range hotel has a distinctive Moroccan character throughout its
interiors. Housed in two buildings, the 137 rooms feature flat-screen TVs and
free Wi-Fi, and some rooms have ocean views. An outdoor
freeform pool, massage treatments (for a fee), a sauna, Turkish steam rooms,
several restaurants, and a nightclub with belly dancing add a resort vibe here, though Wi-Fi can be spotty, the breakfast buffet isn't free, and some rooms could use renovating.

Scene
Rich Moroccan character draws tourists and business travelers alike
Set on landscaped grounds with lawns, gardens, and
palm trees, Club Val d'Anfa Hotel consists of two modern buildings with four
floors each. The interiors are suffused with rich Moroccan colors and details.
Guests enter a lavishly decorated lobby with dark wood paneling, mosaic
tiles, Berber rugs, lattice screens, coffered ceilings, and a chandelier, while the bell staff wears typical Moroccan uniforms. The adjacent seating area features floor-to-ceiling pillars, vases and large urns, dark leather sofas and upholstered chairs, with Moorish lamps and arched doorways. These design features reappear throughout most of the hotel's public spaces and guest rooms. Tourist couples and business travelers make up the bulk of travelers here, as well as vacationing families,
who gather in the lobby and restaurants, and around the outdoor pool. The pool deck has
lounge chairs and umbrellas, and transforms at night into an atmospheric space
for cocktails and candlelit dinners -- sunset views are also nice from here. The hotel's beach area has a
fair amount of rocks and uneven sand, and the access path is a little worn down and dirty -- it's not the most attractive place to sunbathe.
Location
Located 50 yards from beach in La Corniche area near restaurants, bars, and nightclubs
Club Val d'Anfa Hotel is in the La Corniche area with
its restaurants, bars, and nightclubs, all of which can be reached in five to 10 minutes on foot depending on the destination. The beach and Atlantic Ocean are just outside the hotel's front door, a one-minute walk, while the Terminus Ain Diab tramway station is a
10-minute walk southwest. The shops of the Morocco Mall and its IMAX theater are a
10-minute drive southwest and the AnfaPlace shopping center is an eight-minute
drive, or 20-minute walk for the ambitious, from the hotel. The Hassan II Mosque is a
12-minute drive northeast and the entrance to the Old Medina marketplace is a
15-minute drive northeast of the hotel. Mohammed V International Airport is a
45-minute drive south of the Club Val d'Anfa. Both valet and self parking are free at the hotel.
Rooms
Moroccan design with free Wi-Fi and flat-screen TVs
Guest rooms aren't necessarily upscale, but they do have
some elegant touches and an attractive Moroccan aesthetic, with white
walls, brightly colored Moroccan-themed art, floral-print upholstered
chairs, colorful Berber rugs, wood furniture, beamed ceilings, and parquet
floors. Some rooms have hand-painted furniture and ceilings. Beds are made up with white linens and dark-brown bed runners, decorative pillows, and carved wooden headboards. Rooms come in Standard, Superior, Junior Suite, Royal Suite, and Presidential Suite categories, and all include bottled
water, desks, mini-bars, air-conditioning, occasionally spotty free Wi-Fi, and flat-screen TVs. The best rooms have balconies with views of the beach, ocean, and sunset. Clad
in marble, the bathrooms are spacious and clean, featuring ample counter space, wall-mounted hairdryers,
bathrobes, and high quality toiletries, although the lighting could be improved. While all rooms are clean, some rooms in the older building could use a renovation and better maintenance. Also, some rooms may experience noise issues, especially from street traffic and the nightclub across the road. Non-smoking rooms are available.
Features
Beach access, freeform outdoor pool, spa with steam room and sauna
Club Val d'Anfa Hotel offers a good array of facilities throughout the property. The hotel is about 50 yards east of its own beach area, which is
adjacent to a public beach, though it's rocky and not the most ideal for sunbathing. The hotel's freeform outdoor pool has a shallow
children's end, a deck with lounge chairs, and a poolside bar. At night the
area surrounding the pool changes into a space for cocktails and candlelight dinners.
The hotel's full-service spa offers massages and treatments (for a fee), a hair
salon, sauna, Turkish steam room, and indoor jetted tub, though the area isn't the most chic we've seen and some of the tiling and grout throughout could use a deep scrub. The hotel serves a
breakfast buffet, which some may find a bit expensive, but the ample spread
includes cooked-to-order eggs, sausages, crepes, pancakes, cold cuts, cheeses,
breads, cereals, fruit, coffee, and juice. The Club Val d'Anfa also offers five dining options including a
traditional Moroccan restaurant, ocean and pool-side restaurants, and French
and Italian cuisines with good seafood selections. Room service is also available. There are also a stylish cocktail lounge and a nightclub on site, with
belly dancers and traditional Moroccan music. The hotel has bell staff, concierge services, on-site shops, a business center,
and meeting rooms with available catering services. Wi-Fi is free throughout the hotel, though it can be spotty.
