On 1 October 2009, the establishment, formerly Sofitel, moved under the Pullman banner, Accor's luxury hotel brand. The change in banner was accompanied by an ambitious renovation programme. Located in the superb bay of El Jadida, a fortified town built by the Portuguese in the 16th century, the Pullman Mazagan Royal Golf & Spa is just 40 minutes from the Mohamed V International Airport in Casablanca. Conviviality, tranquillity and connectivity The Pullman Mazagan Royal Golf & Spa offers the customised and innovative services that typify the Pullman brand.

The lobby has been completely redecorated in Art Deco style, combining modernity and vivid splashes of colour to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The Connectivity Lounge in the lobby is an ideal working space for connecting to the web and working in complete privacy.

The sober, untrammelled decoration of its 117 rooms � including a Royal suite, four duplex suites and five Junior suites � offers guests a guarantee of relaxation and wellbeing. Each room has a balcony or terrace and a view of the sea, the pool or the green. All the rooms are equipped with state-of-the-art technology: Wi-Fi connection, flat-screen LCD television, digital safe, minibar, etc.

The Pullman Mazagan Royal Golf & Spa fields a range of dining options with four restaurants: Le Cosy, a gastronomic restaurant with a fusion menu, inspired by French cuisine with a local touch. Its calm and minimalist decoration is the ideal setting for appreciating the restaurant's elegant and subtle dishes. � Al Jawhara, to rediscover the authenticity of Moroccan cuisine, in a typical local ambiance with decorated ceilings and woodwork. � Le Birdie, with its light and well-balanced cuisine and its extraordinary view of one of the most beautiful greens in the Kingdom of Morocco. � Le Mazagan, which overlooks the pool, offers a vast range of Mediterranean and international specialties in the form of a buffet.

Lastly, the new lounge bar, Le Carr� Blanc, is the perfect setting for moments of relaxation and socialising with friends and colleagues. In an uncluttered black and white decor, a pianist creates a "jazz-style" ambiance. Twice a month, other performers are invited to entertain guests.

Redesigned working spaces To respond to the requirements of its business clientele, the Pullman Mazagan Royal Golf & Spa offers working spaces equipped with free Wi-Fi and personalised services. A new space devoted to downtime gives business guests the opportunity to take a break between two meetings in a comfortable environment. Innovative breaks, such as putting competitions, for instance, are proposed as an amusing and convivial way of spending time out between meetings. This new approach to organisation of upscale meetings and seminars is coordinated throughout by a single contact person, the Event Manager, supported by the expertise of an IT Solutions Manager.

A place to relax and get away from it all The hotel has a Fit and Spa Lounge with a traditional hammam (Turkish baths), a sauna, a heated indoor pool, a solarium and cardio-training equipment. In the summer, the big outdoor pool is an ideal place for relaxing.

One of the finest greens in the Kingdom of Morocco

The Royal Golf El Jadida, considered to be one of Morocco's finest golf links, is part and parcel of the hotel. The green is designed by architect Cabell B. Robinson - each hole is a challenge that both amateur and professional golfers will enjoy discovering. In February, the Royal Golf El Jadida inaugurates its Golf Academy, which will be directed by the Moroccan champion Redouane Diab, sixth in the national ranking and a member of the PGA.
