Riad Fes
Ornate restored riad with stunning rooftop terrace



A couple of turns down blind medina alleyways lead to the surprise oasis of this boutique property with just 26 rooms and suites. The mosaic tiling and intricately carved plaster work in the riad’s public spaces are palatial in scope and intricacy, an attentive aesthetic that carries through in the exceptional guest rooms, too, with their elaborate chandeliers and floors tiled in the traditional greens, blues and yellows typical in Fes. Guests will also find a rooftop terrace, an interior pool beneath an open roof, and an excellent restaurant. The concierge can arrange member privileges for a round of golf at the nearby Fes Royal Golf Club.
