This lively neighborhood has tons of attractions, restaurants, shopping spaces, and hotels that range from budget to luxury! With a modern touch that blends perfectly with some of the old buildings, the City Center is a top choice for where to stay in Casablanca. It’s perfect for anyone who loves to walk around from one landmark to another and not use any public transportation.

Old Medina

This neighborhood is also popular among backpackers so you’ll find a lot of affordable hotels and hostel rooms. Old Medina is quite magical, with its culture and legends and it encompasses that old Moroccan atmosphere.
