Riad Fes

A weekend getaway

A subtle blend of Andalusian splendour and the Moroccan art of living, Riad Fès considers itself the custodian and mirror of a refined civilisation and a prestigious past. This majestic 30-room palace is an authentic jewel of Hispano-Moorish architecture, with its four harmoniously arranged patios, their carved doors and wall zelliges, their stucco archways and marble pools. It offers panoramic views of the Fes medina and the Atlas mountains; a magical sight at sunrise. Hammams and massages, a swimming pool with a wine bar, fountains, smoking rooms, fine dining and a trendy lounge bar: here, traditions and contemporary comfort combine to create a world of delights.

THE EXTRAORDINARY

It is with the idea of passing on culinary know-how that the establishment has opened its doors to female cooks who have never been to catering college but who have learned everything from their mother: the guarantee of authentic cuisine. Upon arrival, they undergo training to complement their skills and learn how to use produce in its entirety, so that nothing goes to waste. At the Riad, all fruit and vegetables are in season and come from a local producer who practises sustainable agriculture.

ETHICS

A Relais & Châteaux member, Riad Fès upholds the association's values, which are centred around authentic local cuisine favouring seasonal and local ingredients; respect for the environment; the preservation of the natural setting; and the promotion of craftsmanship.
