Fodor's Expert Review Riad Fès – Relais & Châteaux

For an architecturally refined interpretation of riad living, head to this luxurious hotel: it's a perfect blend of character, modern convenience, creature comforts, and outstanding service. The place is magical in the evening, when weary guests are welcomed back into the glow of candlelight to the mesmerizing rhythms of oud music. The Andalusian pavilion with a decorative pool and intricately carved stone archways houses a sleek bar and lounge on one side and a plush, crimson-hued smoking room on the other. The upscale restaurant offering sophisticated preparations of Fassi cuisine means you may not want to muster up the energy to leave the pleasurable confines of this memorable, full-service hotel.
