Riad Fes, Relais & Chateaux

We have traveled to all 7 continents and stayed in all kinds of wonderful hotels, inns and chateaux. But nothing can compare to the magnificence and beauty of the Riad Fes. You will feel like you have been transported to a different time - but perfectly preserved and exquisitely maintained. The hotel's food was delicious, the staff were amazing, and the care and love that everyone showers on the building (and on the guests!) is evident everywhere! Fresh flower arrangements so remarkable you need to take pictures, perfect gardens to walk in, gorgeous rooftop bar to watch the sunset over the Medina and listen to the call to prayer. The leadership of the hotel must be topnotch for the staff to be so alert to the needs of guests and the hotel. I want to urge you to listen to the brilliant advice of the staff. Zahara told us, pretty clearly, that we needed a guide for our first visit to the Medina. And we humored her and agreed to one. She was SO right! We would have been instantly lost in the maze (the labyrinth!) of the Medina and it would have been stressful for us. Instead our guide, arranged by Zahara, showed us all the things we wanted to see and was a great source for the history of Fes. Zahara also arranged for us to take a cooking class at Riad Fes with Chef Amal. Just us, in the kitchen, from 3:30 to 5:30. And the entire cooking staff, good naturedly, served us what we had made that afternoon for our evening dinner. This might be our favorite hotel in the world. Our thanks to Riad Fes for such an amazing experience.

I have been for 3 days in the Riad Fes. All was amazing : the massage, the swimming pool, the kindness and the « pavlova « . The city tour organized thanks to the hotel was very complète and interesting. And a specific « dédicace «  for the view from the roof top. Thank you for this dream

Perhaps my favorite hotel. The building is beautiful and the location superb. The amenities are top-notch. We ate dinner at the hotel one night and it was tasty. Medi, our server, was very helpful and steered us to the best, most popular Moroccan items on the menu. Absolutely loved the monkfish in tangine. Anwar at the front desk was very helpful and kind. We really enjoyed our room. We weren’t familiar with Fes medinas and we took a narrow path past many riads until we made it to this gem.

Had the most amazing dining experience at the restaurant. Personalized service…..awesome ambience and absolutely 5 star service. Anouar is absolutely the best! Listened to us and helped us order the right things from the menu. The Monkfish is to die for and the quail soup is delicious.

Fabulous! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this Riad! The staff was warm and welcoming, and the food for both breakfast and dinner was excellent. The rooftop bar had the most mesmerizing views of Fes, and a massage at the spa was outstanding. We would highly recommend this Riad and hope to return someday.
