Riad Fes, Fez

Tucked into a narrow lane in the heart of the ancient city of Fez, a stay at this exquisite riad is a chance to step back in time and get a sense of the splendour of the ancient Fassi nobility. Comprising five of the city’s most noble houses, the property is a glorious example of Hispanic-Moorish architecture – think sculpted doors, delicate tilework and high domed ceilings. The rooms and suites continue the traditional theme, with modern touches nestled alongside turn-of-the-century period pieces that evoke the grand living of wealthy Fassi merchants.

From the rooftop terrace, the most beautiful panoramic sunsets can be enjoyed over the bustling medina and the distant Atlas Mountains. The gardens, spa and swimming pool, nestled in the shade of fragrant orange trees, will only enhance your stay, providing you with the perfect refresher after a day of sightseeing in the city. You can round off your evenings with cocktails in the L’Alcazar bar, and gourmet feasts in the restaurant.
