Hotel Oum Palace

Hotel Oum Palace is a five-star oceanfront hotel on Boulevard de la Corniche in Ain Diab, Casablanca, Morocco. The Corniche is the city's Atlantic leisure strip, lined with beach clubs, cafes and seafood restaurants, and the hotel sits on this stretch with sea views and access to the promenade. The central city, the Old Medina and the Hassan II Mosque are roughly 8 to 12 kilometres to the east, a taxi ride of 20 to 30 minutes depending on traffic, and Mohammed V International Airport is about 40 kilometres away. The hotel is described as palace-style, with a grand architectural character of ornate public spaces, rather than a minimalist modern design, giving it a distinct identity among Corniche properties. Accommodation includes standard rooms, double or twin rooms and suites, equipped with air conditioning and Wi-Fi, many facing the ocean. Dining includes a restaurant serving breakfast and meals, with menus that combine Moroccan and international dishes, and the beachfront setting suits seafood. A spa and a pool are central to the leisure offer, giving guests a place to relax after sightseeing, and the ocean outlook is a key selling point. The service character is leisure-focused and traditional in tone, with staff generally speaking Arabic, French and English, and a front desk able to arrange taxis, tours and excursions to Rabat or Marrakech. The hotel is popular for weddings and events as well as holiday stays, and it appeals to couples and families who want a seaside base. Rates of about MAD 1,200 to 2,400 per night put it in the upscale bracket, with peak prices in July and August. The Atlantic surf can be strong, so swimming in the pool is often the safer choice. Visitors should plan for heavy coastal traffic at weekends and in summer evenings, and ask for a sea-facing room when booking.
