Fès-Saïs Airport (FES) serves Morocco's most ancient imperial city, home to the world's oldest continuously operating university. Hotels in Fez offer access to the UNESCO-listed Medina, the extraordinary Al-Qarawiyyin mosque, the famous tanneries, and one of the best preserved medieval Islamic cities on earth.
A showpiece riad in the heart of the old city, Riad Fès pairs meticulous zellij tilework and carved cedar with the hush of a private courtyard pool. Days begin with an unhurried breakfast and end with candlelit dinners and hammam rituals—an antidote to the medina’s sensory swirl just outside the door.
Set above the city in the modern quarter, Hotel Sahrai is Fez’s sleek counterpoint to traditional riads—cool-lined architecture, contemporary Moroccan design, and a resort-like calm. It’s the kind of place you retreat to after the medina: pool time, a serious spa program, and multiple restaurants under one roof.
Housed in a former Arab-Moorish palace with sweeping views over the rooftops, Palais Faraj delivers grand spaces and a cinematic sense of arrival. Expect generous suites, a deep wellness menu, and a rooftop terrace that turns sunset into an event—ideal when you want old-world drama with modern comfort.
A restored palatial riad with an enchanting garden courtyard, Palais Amani feels like a private residence that happens to run flawlessly as a hotel. It’s beloved for its cooking school, polished service, and rooftop moments above the medina—classic Fez romance without the fuss.
Riad Maison Bleue is a refined, family-run address where traditional plasterwork, tile, and carved wood frame a calm inner patio. The experience is intimate and service-forward, with spa touches and rooftop downtime that make the medina feel navigable—even for first-timers.
A quietly luxurious riad that doubles as a soothing wellness base, Riad Laaroussa balances historic character with boutique-hotel polish. Expect a rooftop terrace for late-afternoon tea, a serious hammam-and-massage offering, and an atmosphere that feels curated rather than staged.
