Hotel Idou Anfa

Hotel Idou Anfa is a four-star hotel on Boulevard d'Anfa in Casablanca, Morocco, in the upscale Anfa and Gauthier area. The neighbourhood is known for its tree-lined streets, cafes, boutiques and restaurants, and is considered one of the more refined parts of the city. The Maarif district and the Twin Center are a short drive away, and the Corniche beaches of Ain Diab are about 10 to 15 minutes by taxi. The Old Medina and the Hassan II Mosque are roughly 15 to 25 minutes away depending on traffic, and Mohammed V International Airport is around 40 kilometres to the south-east. The hotel is a modern urban property, aimed at business travellers and independent visitors who want a comfortable base close to dining and shopping rather than a resort. Rooms come as standard rooms, double or twin rooms and suites, all with air conditioning and Wi-Fi, and the suites offer extra space for longer stays. An on-site restaurant serves breakfast and meals with a mix of Moroccan and international dishes, and the many cafes of Gauthier provide alternatives within walking distance. A fitness centre is available for guests. The hotel does not position itself as a spa or beach resort, so visitors seeking pools and treatments typically look to the Corniche properties. Service is professional and business-oriented, with staff generally speaking Arabic, French and English, and the front desk can arrange taxis and local excursions. Rates of roughly MAD 900 to 1,700 per night place it in the upscale bracket, below the leading luxury hotels but above budget central options. The Anfa area is relatively quiet at night compared with the centre, which many guests prefer. Visitors should plan for traffic on Boulevard d'Anfa during morning and evening rush hours and arrange airport transfers in advance when arriving late.
