but there is a large swimming pool with plenty of deck chairs and a small spa
with a hammam. Rooms are moderately sized and basic. Overall, the resort feels a bit dated, but rates are reasonable and freebies include parking and Wi-Fi in common areas.

Scene
Slightly dated resort attracts families and business travelers
The Hotel Atlas Asni looks like a large apartment block from the
outside, so it doesn't stand out much among the neighboring residential buildings. Just behind
the property is an enormous construction pit. The hotel grounds are green and
dotted with palm trees and flower beds, as well as a medium-size rectangular
pool. Astroturf carpets the pool deck, which is lined with cheap metal and
canvas lounge chairs. The Atlas Asni caters to tourists who book packages,
business travelers and conventioneers, bus tours, and flight attendants from
numerous airlines, and the feel is not special or particularly
Moroccan, except when it comes to several lovely mosaic features, including a pretty
fountain in the lobby. All in all, there is not a lot of charm and personality to
the property, nor is it particularly quiet and restful. The hotel is better just as a base
from which to tour the area rather than a resort destination.
Location
In Marrakech's new city, a five minutes' walk from the convention center
The Hotel Atlas Asni is located in Hivernage, in Marrakech's new city, about a half-hour walk from the medina. The
convention center, Palais des Congres, is a five-minute walk from the hotel, which makes it a good choice for business travelers. There is plenty of nightlife to be found in the neighboring
hotels and nearby. Marrakech Menara International Airport is about a 15-minute taxi
ride away. The hotel does offer free self-parking.
Rooms
Basic decor, furnished balconies, and shower/tub combos
Rooms at the Hotel Atlas Asni are clean and basic, with furnished
balconies surfaced with astroturf. The decor is simple but generic and dated, and not Moroccan in feel. Floors are carpeted. Adjoining rooms are available for
families traveling together. Many rooms have the lingering odor of cigarette
smoke; guests may request non-smoking rooms. Bathrooms are tile, with
shower/tub combinations; some rooms have maintenance problems with showerheads
and drains. Rooms in the front of the hotel have views of Marrakech; back rooms
overlook the pool and neighboring hotels. Light sleepers and late risers should
note that guest rooms near the nightclub or stairs can be noisy. All rooms come with flat-screen TVs.
Features
Adult and children's pools, pool bar, two buffets, and a nightclub
The Hotel Atlas Asni has a large-ish rectangular pool with an
astroturf-surfaced deck, and rows of lounge chairs. Guests also have pool
privileges at the neighboring Hotel Atlas Medina. The Atlas Asni has a
children’s pool, but no kids' club. The fitness center is tiny with only a few
pieces of cardio equipment. There are laundry facilities for guests' use. The pool bar is the most atmospheric of the hotel’s bars and restaurants, with
Moroccan tiles and lanterns adding authentic flavor. In addition, there are two
buffet restaurants, the a la carte La Brasserie, and a nightclub, open late.
