💛 From the TravelWell family
TravelWell’s roots run through this city: co-founder Chloe’s family had two generations born in Casablanca, in the era of French Morocco — part of the deep Franco-Moroccan thread the brand still carries.

Why Casablanca, Morocco.
The Hassan II Mosque — one of the largest in the world, its 210 m minaret the tallest — stands partly over the Atlantic, with a glass floor above the sea and room for 100,000+ worshippers; non-Muslims can visit on guided tours.
Casablanca holds one of the world’s great concentrations of 1920s–30s Art-Deco and Mauresque architecture, laid out during the French Protectorate (1912–1956) — a walking tour of the centre-ville is a journey through that era.
The Corniche of Aïn Diab — seafront restaurants, pools and cafés — is where Casa relaxes; sunset over the Atlantic is the city’s daily ritual.
The Habous quarter (the “new medina”) blends Moroccan craft souks with French-era planning; Rick’s Café recreates the film’s mystique for those who come looking for it.
This is Morocco’s most modern, business-minded city — French and Arabic everywhere, a launchpad by train to Rabat, Marrakech and Fez, and the founding home of co-founder Chloe’s family across two generations.
Read the full story
Casablanca is Morocco’s economic capital and its most cosmopolitan city — a working Atlantic port where the country’s past and future meet. Under the French Protectorate (1912–1956), the architect-planners of Maréchal Lyautey laid out grand boulevards and a now-celebrated wealth of Art-Deco and Mauresque architecture; that Franco-Moroccan inheritance still gives “Casa” its distinctive elegance. Today the colossal Hassan II Mosque rises straight from the ocean, the Corniche hums at sunset, and the city carries the romance the world borrowed for a film it never quite resembled.
