About this episode

Dan Rubinstein discusses the transformation of Casablanca with Jean-Claude Messant, focusing on luxury tourism and cultural development.

Long overlooked by travelers for places like Marrakech, the city of Casablanca is ready for a transformation. Thanks in part to a new hotel in the commercial capital from the Royal Mansour Collection, this ancient urban center is ready to be explored. On this episode, pulled from the pages of our spring print issue, Dan speaks with Jean-Claude Messant, the group's Managing Director, about how this Frenchman found his way to North Africa, how the country is using five-star luxury to develop lives, economies, and culture, what to do during a weekend in Casablanca, and much more.
