HOTELHOTELHOTELCAMP SITEMOROCCANMOROCCAN( 0535 56 66 07; r from Dh2500; ) Overlooking Ifrane from the north, this oversized
ski lodge has finally reopened after a renovation lasting several years, turning it into one of
Morocco’s most luxurious hotels. Local cedar is evident throughout in the refit, with rooms
echoing a luxury chalet. The attention to detail goes as far as the carefully selected art
decorating the walls. There are two pools: one on the terrace for summer, and another indoors
for winter. Nonguests may use them for Dh450 (including buffet lunch).
Hotel les Tilleuls €
( 0535 56 66 58; fax 0535 56 60 79; cnr Ave des Tilluels & Rue de la Cascade; s/d from

main square.
Hôtel Chamonix €€

maintained and centrally located. Rooms are bright and clean, if a little bland, with attached
bathrooms. There’s a decent restaurant and bar (which turns into a nightclub on weekends),

Hôtel Perce-Neige €€
( 0535 56 64 04; fax 035 567116; Rue des Asphodelles; s/d Dh400/490) A pretty
accommodation option situated about 200m southeast of the centre. The rooms could be a bit
bigger, but they’re very comfortable and come with satellite TV and bathrooms. The licensed
restaurant is a good dining option (set menus Dh120). The shop in the lobby sells paintings by
local artists.

Café Restaurant la Rose €
( 0555 56 62 15; 7 Rue de la Cascade; mains around Dh45, set menu Dh70) This small
restaurant has always been popular in town for its Middle Atlas trout and traditional Moroccan
fare. A recent renovation has lifted its spirits further.

the Hôtel Chamonix. Among its features is a wide glass frontage, with different seating areas,
