There’s no finer example of Fes’s architectural opulence. The approximately 600-year-old house took seven years to restore, emerging as an impeccable, some might even say improved, version of its glorious former self. One of the first boutique hotels to open in the medina, it has been going strong for over a decade.
The ultimate riad fantasy, hidden away in the heart of the Fez medina. A family home where children and dogs roam a courtyard filled with orange trees and days can be spent lolling by a turquoise pool, or on a roof terrace with views that make your heart skip a beat
This is arguably the hippest guesthouse in the Fes medina. Expect jazz crooners on the stereo, chic but unfussy décor, an intimate rooftop scene that wouldn’t look out of place on a beach in Ibiza, and a grown-up drinks list in your room. Instagrammers flock here for photos framed in the pretty, wrought-iron windows.
Serene, peaceful, heartbreakingly beautiful, this 17th century palace with its carved plaster arches and orange-tree shaded courtyard got its Art Deco edge in the 1920s after an earthquake. Today it’s the ultimate base from which to lose your heart to the mystical labyrinth that is the Fes el Bali.
This sweet, family-run guesthouse feels like a home-from-home within the frenzy that is the Fes medina. With lofty proportions, spacious but very cosy rooms, and a large Moroccan-style salon complete with log fire for curling up next to, you could easily pretend it was all yours for the weekend.
These palatial digs near the Andalous Quarter will transport you to a time of Sultans and caravanserai, albeit lavishly updated with 21st-century whistles and bells. From here you can dip in and out of the medina with ease, all the while knowing you’re coming home to plush lounges, foot rubs, and chilled rosé.
This historic house dating back to the seventeenth century has been sympathetically restored and renovated by veteran hotelier Abdellatif Aït Ben Abdellah. His pared back aesthetic lets the building’s sensational architecture speak for itself.
The stately Sahrai is the buzziest spot in town among Moroccan cool-hunters and resident expats, mixing an exotic history with the sort of contemporary good looks more familiar to Marrakech. Stay here if you like DJs with your evening drinks and Sunday brunch, relaxing by the pool and posh spa treatments.
A secret garden in the heart of the medina; this tranquil riad is a lush, green oasis far from the fray. This characterful property was once a retreat for the pasha of Casablanca. Facilities include a mini art gallery, and colourful suites feature Uzbek textiles and Indian quilts.
Riad Fes is the only place in the Fes medina that has all the whistles and bells of a proper five-star hotel, without compromising the magic of riad living. The hotel is made up of five of the city’s most noble houses interconnected by marble staircases and candlelit corridors, each with its own distinctive character.
Set in the heart of one of the biggest private gardens in Fes’s Ville Nouvelle, the Marriott opened on the site of the former Jnane Palace. With a vast pool, lots of wining and dining options, and deeply comfortable rooms, it’s perfect for a lazy weekend of winter sunshine.
