Relais et Chateaux

ABOUT: Hidden in a sought-after quarter of Fes’ intoxicating medina, this luxurious Relais & Châteaux riad - a former palace – invites you to experience old-world glamour.  Extremely popular, it abounds with space, sophistication and serenity. The property comprises a succession of calming patios, pools, fountains, courtyards found across a trio of joined-together riads and 30 spacious rooms and suites.

 

ROOMS: The three wings each have distinctive styles: Moroccan, with traditional furnishings and exquisite fabrics; Oriental, blending dark wood with black or white tadelakt; and, most modern, Baroque-Andalucian, all black zellige tiles and marble bathrooms.  For value, the Standard Rooms with terraces are excellent; for indulgence, a palatial two-floor Royal Suite takes some beating.  All boast air-conditioning, satellite TV and bathtub.

 

FACILITIES: Lined by pot plants, the hotel’s heated lap pool is heaven after a day in the medina.  So too is the Cinq Mondes spa (massage and steam room). The rooftop dining terrace – where you’ll watch the sun set over the city’s roofs and copper-topped minarets while enjoying an exquisite Moroccan dinner (book in advance) - is a real highlight.  By night, the orange-scented, lantern-lit Andalous courtyard below becomes one of Fes' most stylish hang-outs.  There’s also a wine bar and a smoking room. 

 

EXTRA INFO:Official guides can be booked via the hotel for medina tours.  Wi-Fi is available throughout and service is slick.
