Riad Mayfez Suites & Spa  

Tucked inside Fes El Bali, this 5-star riad sits a short walk from the Blue Gate (Bab Boujloud), Medersa Bou-Inania, Henna Souk and Al Attarine Madrasa. Family-friendly and intimate, it puts Fes’s medieval sights on your doorstep.

Once a 19th-century vizier’s palace, the riad blends private-house charm with hotel service. The property is small and intimate — six suites and one room — with salons, a library, a games room and a unique panoramic terrace. Rooms are individually decorated and many open to private balconies or patios, with deep-soaking tubs, separate showers and designer toiletries. There’s no formal reception; check-in can happen at the bar, in the library or the garden for a very personal welcome.

Relax at a full-service spa offering massages, facials and body treatments, plus sauna and dedicated massage rooms. Enjoy an outdoor pool, a fitness center, a poolside bar and a rooftop terrace. There’s a playroom for kids, a picnic and barbecue area, concierge and tour-desk services, and optional airport or train transfers for a surcharge. Wake to courtyard sunlight and the medina’s hum.

Business center on site and complimentary wireless internet throughout. Complimentary newspapers in the lobby, plus dry cleaning and concierge support for arrangements and transfers.

L'Odalisque serves Moroccan specialties on-site, with room service during limited hours. Continental breakfast is available for a fee, and guests can unwind at two bars, including a poolside lounge.
