🌟 Riad Fes - Relais & Châteaux | The Crown Jewel of Fès

Choosing where to stay in Fès was a no-brainer—Riad Fes, the city’s most iconic luxury hotel and its only Relais & Châteaux member, was calling our name! 🏰 First Impressions Tucked away in the medina’s maze-like alleys, the riad’s unassuming entrance gives way to a dazzling oasis: Hand-laid marble mosaics ✨ Handcrafted brass lanterns 🏮 Every inch a love letter to Moroccan artistry 🍽️ Dining Under the Stars The restaurant, set in a courtyard shimmering with water-reflected light, feels like a scene from One Thousand and One Nights: Live oud music 🎶 by a local elder Listed among Morocco’s top 100 restaurants (though the couscous outshone other dishes) Breakfast: A forgettable buffet, but the rooftop sunrise views? Unreal. 🌅 🛏️ Room Notes (Superior Deluxe) Authentic Moroccan charm, though paled next to the showstopping common areas (blame our prior stay at Royal Mansour Casablanca!). Welcome gifts: Diptyque toiletries + local black soap (olive-oil-based) and exfoliating clay. Quirk alert: Layouts vary wildly—some rooms have mini staircases to bathrooms! 🚪➡️🪜 Ask ahead if mobility’s a concern. 💡 Pro Tips ✔️ Book dinner for the ambiance (but manage food expectations). ✔️ Sunrise on the terrace = non-negotiable. ✔️ Request room details—no two are alike! #LuxuryTravel #RiadFes #Morocco #RelaisChateaux #Fès✨
