Hotel Tafilalet

Above the roundabout at Abdelmoulen Mouahidi and Ouakaat Zellaka, Hotel Tafilalet gives most of its four-star rooms a city or Middle Atlas mountain view over Meknès's Ville Nouvelle — a straightforward base for business travellers and drivers, ten minutes by car from the Imperial City's medina gates.

An indoor pool and hammam-style bathtubs run year-round, useful outside the summer swimming season. Rooms keep extra-long beds and walk-in closets, and breakfast can be taken in-room rather than the ground-floor restaurant.

A business center and meeting rooms suit conference stopovers before onward routes to Fès or Azrou.
