Hotel Jaouharat Ismaili

Set in the El Bassatine district of Meknès, a residential lotissement grid east of the imperial city's medina walls, Hotel Jaouharat Ismaili gives drivers easy street parking and a quieter base than the crowded Bab Mansour approach, suited to families and business visitors wanting simple, self-contained rooms.

Rooms keep air conditioning, heating, and flat-screen TVs as standard, with family rooms available for larger groups. Grocery deliveries and 24-hour room service cover guests who prefer not to venture out after dark.

The medina's souks and the Ismaili-era granaries lie a short taxi ride west.
