Hotel Les Gorges du Dades

Memorable setting: The hotel was designed to take advantage of a steep slope above Boumalne, creating panoramic outlooks toward the oued, the village, and the cliffs beyond.

Terrace-focused rooms: The property was planned with 100 double rooms, each following a similar layout that includes an entry area, built-in closet space, a toilet, a shower, and a private terrace.

Courtyard and pool core: Rooms are arranged around a central courtyard with a swimming pool, giving the hotel a clear “heart” where guests can regroup after driving the Dades Valley routes.

On-site social spaces: Facilities described for the hotel include a lobby and lounge, a restaurant (noted with capacity for 50 people), a bar, and a games room—useful when you want an easy evening without heading back into Boumalne.

Potential maintenance trade-offs: Some reports describe scarce upkeep over time, with issues like cracks and humidity around structural areas, which may affect expectations for polish.

Isolated feel: Because it sits outside the town’s current boundaries, the hotel can feel removed—great for quiet, but less convenient if you want to walk to shops or meet locals spontaneously.

Changed interiors: The original interiors are described as transformed, with repainting, replastering, and later expansions, so architecture lovers may find it less “pure” than expected.
