Château Roslane

Top choice in Middle Atlas


Rooms at this elegant hotel in the wine country around Meknes are beautifully furnished, with lots of wood, a mid-century feel and modern Moroccan rugs and textiles. All have balconies overlooking the surrounding vineyards. If you've always wanted to bathe in a wine barrel, treat yourself to the suite! There's a bar, the restaurant L'Oliveraie and a gorgeous spa.
