Our favourite rooms
All rooms have period features with a sprinkle of modernity; but the deluxe view rooms do what they say on the tin – expect vistas over minarets, medinas and mountains that make morning curtain-opening even more magical.
Poolside
Skyscraping palm trees, padded double day beds and tasteful dining tables border the infinity pool overlooking Fez’s maze-like medina. If you’re not content with sweating from the heat, workout at the hotel’s gym equipped with TechnoGym machines.
Spa
The Givenchy Spa was designed by spa-specialist Patrick Ribes; its traditional hammam and zellige-tiled jade-green Jacuzzi will have you floating back to your room. The five treatment rooms offer spellbinding massages, facials and body treatments using marocMaroc products.
Packing tips
Lightweight maxis and loose-fitting linens to show your respect to one of the holy cities of Islam (and the heat).
Also
The hotel was designed by French artist Christophe Pillet – bringing zellige pools and local stone cladding – but its hand-carved curved-arch façade is in keeping with the property’s prior use as the summer palace of French army general Marshall Lyautey.
Children
Extra beds can be added to rooms for 700 MAD; a children's menu is available for in-restaurant and in-room dining.
