Recently given a bit of a makeover, Riad Fes combines a traditional wing with wooden ceilings and stucco with a modern wing featuring contemporary oriental styles and baroque influences, plus an entirely new third wing.
All rooms within the riad are en suite and whether in the modern or traditional areas all are beautifully and tastefully decorated.
For real luxury, book the Royal Suite. From its private balcony you will experience stunning views over the medina and beyond to the Atlas mountains.
The deluxe rooms are found in the modern area while the standard rooms are within the original part of the riad, offering a more authentically Moroccan experience.
Traditional Moroccan food is served in both Riad Fes’s restaurants, L’Ambre and L’Oriental. Here the menu includes tagines, soups and other meals cooked with ingredients from the local souk.
Le Salon Oriental, the riad’s lounge bar, offers a range of cocktails, liquers, wines and cigars. There is live music from a different local musical troupe every night.
Because of its location in central Fes, the city’s attractions are all easily accessible from this riad, and staff can even arrange guided tours of the city. For golf fans, they can also arrange a trip to Royal Golf, offering a specifically tailored golf experience.
If you fancy spending some time around the riad, there’s a 14×14m pool that you can dip into or relax around the edges on sun loungers. The pool is open 24 hours a day. You can also enjoy a thorough massage in the hammam and browse the library and souvenir shop.
Riad Fes is located 25 miles from Fez airport and pick up and drop off can be arranged on request. The beach at Casablanca is three hours drive away.
