Fès has hotels to suit every pocket and taste. One of the best ways to soak up the city’s atmosphere is to stay in a riad, a traditional medina house with rooms based around a central courtyard. These beautifully restored old residences offer boutique-hotel style accommodations with personal service and authentic home-cooked food.
The hotels in Fès below have been grouped into three different price categories:
Luxury (1,250 to 2,250 dirhams)

These rates are based on double occupancy of twin or double room at standard rate, including breakfast for two and taxes.
