Fodor's Expert Review Hotel Sahrai

Perched on a hill looking down on the medina, this boldly designed and ultrastylish boutique hotel has brought a new level of contemporary luxury to Fez. Using Taza limestone, marble, wood, metal, and glass, French design guru Christophe Pillet has imitated the layout of the old city. Rooms and suites are all clean lines, space, and light; there’s a Givenchy spa (one of a handful in the world) with a hammam, as well as an infinity pool that overlooks the medina. Choose gourmet Moroccan at Amaraz, French brasserie fare at Relais de Paris, or tapas at the rooftop Jungle Bar, where you can drink in the views. The hotel is a member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World.
