“Attracting a global clientele, this maison d’hôtes with a French flavor is a serene experience from the moment you step through the ocher-color passageway into the luxuriant garden filled with sweet-scented jasmine and roses, as well as olive and citrus trees.”
Featured as Fodor’s Choice in Fez.
“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.”

All you need to know
Nestled within a magnificent Andalusian garden at the core of the medina, Jardin des Biehn stands as a luxurious riad in Fes, Morocco. It was established in the former summer palace of Pacha El Mokri.
This exquisite creation of the Biehn family, who hail from the Provence, opened its doors in 2010. The family meticulously renovated the place, paying immense respect to the traditional architecture, and now features eight unique suites and six captivating rooms.
The hotel provides five diverse categories of lodgings, ranging from Standard Rooms to the lavish Royal Suite. Many of these accommodations come with private balconies or terraces, providing an immersive experience in the rich greenery of the garden.
Each room and suite is adorned with art pieces, antiquities, and valuable textiles that Michel Biehn collected during his journeys. This lends a distinct character and ambiance to each room.
Our restaurant, Fez Café, is defined by its laid-back charm and commitment to utilizing 100% fresh produce sourced locally.
The café is open to everyone—whether they’re staying at the riad or just passing by— and provides a warm welcome throughout the year. Enjoy your meal indoors or on our beautiful terrace surrounded by lush greenery.
Chef Hicham Moufid’s innovative cooking style brings out Mediterranean tastes and Moroccan traditions. The menu evolves daily, mirroring the fresh offerings from local markets.
