Motel Ain Mersa

Built along the Mouzer Ait Hamad road on the edge of Ifrane, Motel Ain Mersa sits within Morocco's so-called 'Little Switzerland' — a cedar-forested plateau at 1,650 metres where winters bring genuine snowfall and summers stay cool enough for open windows.

Rooms include private bathrooms with bidets and showers, flat-screen TVs, slippers, and wardrobe space. Family rooms are available, and the terrace and garden give views across the surrounding Atlas greenery. Parking is free on site.

Ifrane's town centre, with its stone chalet architecture and central park, is a short drive from the motel. The Michlifen ski area and Azrou cedar forest — home to Barbary macaques — both fall within thirty minutes by car.
