“The nomadic French owners of this contemporary caravansary spent ten years reinventing this palatial 17th-century riad. Now seven sumptuous suites sit around a vast courtyard of soaring columns.”
Featured as Fodor’s Choice in Fez.
“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.”

Hotel Palais Amani, Fez
New York Times + 2 more“The sumptuous 15-room Palais Amani was created by a charming Franco-Moroccan woman from Montpellier and her family, which explains why it offers the pleasure of magnificently renovated Fassi décor with modern comforts, including air-conditioning and internet.”
Shortlisted in New York Times’ 36 Hours in Fez, Morocco.
Riad Laaroussa, Fez
Fodors + 2 more“Built around a lush courtyard garden—a tranquil oasis from the medina’s mayhem right on the doorstep—this 17th-century palace had fallen into disrepair before being rescued and rebuilt by its French-American owners, utilizing the skills of the city’s finest craftsmen.”
Featured as Fodor’s Choice in Fez.
Hotel Sahrai, Fez
Lonely Planet“On a hill near the Ville Nouvelle, this smart hotel is a world of its own, a retreat with style, space, a spa and restaurants – though you can dip into the medina on the hotel shuttle. Breezy modern architecture is trimmed with beautiful traditional Fassi decorations; understated rooms feature sunken tubs.”
Hotel Ryad Mabrouka, Fez
Lonely Planet“An old favourite, Mabrouka is a large, meticulously restored Arab-Andalucian townhouse whose owners go the extra mile for guests and strive to employ sustainable practices. There are eight rooms, all with little extras to make your stay more special.”
