Imlil sits at the foot of Mount Toubkal, North Africa’s highest peak, about an hour and a half by road from Marrakech. It’s the starting point most trekkers use before heading into the High Atlas — and it’s where Hotel Étoiles du Toubkal is based, a few minutes’ walk from the main trailheads.
A property built around the mountains
The hotel blends traditional Berber design — carved wood, local stonework, handwoven textiles — with the basics travelers actually need after a day on the trail: reliable Wi-Fi, air conditioning, and hot water on demand. Rooms open onto private balconies or terraces, and depending on which room you book, the view runs from the garden and courtyard up to the surrounding peaks. Several rooms are pet-friendly, and a baby crib is available on request for families traveling with young children.
Rooms for solo trekkers through to groups
The hotel’s rooms range from compact doubles up to family-sized suites that sleep five, each with its own layout and amenities — some with a kitchenette, others with a private balcony or mountain-facing terrace. Every room includes air conditioning, Wi-Fi, and an espresso machine, with a welcome drink on arrival. Full details and live availability for each room are on the rooms page.
Where you actually are
Imlil’s appeal is the Berber villages that ring the valley — still lived-in, not staged for tourists — and the trail network that fans out from the village center. Hotel Étoiles du Toubkal sits close enough to the trailheads that guests can start walking straight from the property, and the hotel can help arrange local guides or a packed lunch for longer routes.

Dining on site
The hotel’s restaurant serves Moroccan dishes made with regional ingredients — tagine and couscous are the staples, alongside a Berber breakfast. It’s built to work for early starts (trekkers heading out before sunrise) and late returns (a hot meal waiting after a long day on the mountain).
Booking
Rooms can be booked directly through this website or by phone. Availability tightens during peak trekking season (spring and autumn), so booking a few weeks ahead is worth it if your dates are fixed.
Whether you’re here to summit Toubkal or just to spend a few quiet days in the mountains, Hotel Étoiles du Toubkal is built around being close to the trail and comfortable at the end of the day.
