Best Hotels in Fes (2026)

Where you stay shapes your experience of Fes. Inside Fes el-Bali, restored riads and palaces offer courtyards, fountains and rooftop terraces, and put the souks on your doorstep. Riad Fes, a Relais & Châteaux hotel in a 14th-century palace, and Palais Faraj, on a hill at the edge of the medina, are the grandest options, while Palais Amani, Karawan Riad, Riad Laaroussa and Le Jardin des Biehn are smaller, characterful addresses with restaurants, hammams and gardens. The Bab Bou Jeloud and Batha areas are easiest for first-time visitors, as taxis can get close and many sights are a short walk away.

Outside the walls, Hotel Sahrai is a contemporary design hotel on the hill at Dhar El Mehraz, with a spa and several restaurants, and the Fes Marriott Hotel Jnan Palace in the Ville Nouvelle offers gardens, a pool and free parking, convenient for drivers and train travellers. Cars cannot reach medina riads, so always ask how to arrive and whether a porter can meet you with luggage. Book early for spring, autumn and festival dates, and in winter check that your room has heating, as nights can be cold.
