Review of Riad Fes, by Nabeel Shariff

Within the winding streets of the old Medina, Riad Fes holds a certain charm separate from the characterised chaos outside. For a riad, the property is vast, with three dars combining traditional Moroccan and Andausian styles that provides a beautiful retreat within Fes.

The hotel boasts traditionally designed rooms blended with chic luxurious touches. En-suite bathrooms are well equipped with Moroccan amenities, and the rooms are suited to both summer and winter seasons. Suites are a real treat for that special stay, with the Ambassador Suite is lined with the finest Zellige and comforts.  

Dining at Riad Fes for breakfast includes a cosy Moroccan spread, with a blend of local accompaniments together with western options providing plenty of choice. Dinner can also be taken here if you’re yearning a Moroccan feast in the Moorish setting of the courtyard.

With fantastic views from the top of the Riad not to be missed, the property is a treat for the senses and well worth a few days’ stay whilst experiencing the joys of the Medina, Moulay Idriss and the beautiful Al-Qarawiyyin. If all the walking get a bit too much, then the hammam is sure to recharge your batteries for the next day.
