Two Virtuoso Gems in Fès

An imperial city of Morocco, Fès is home to one of the largest and best-preserved medinas in the world. Wandering through its alleys is like stepping back in time: artisan workshops, the fragrance of spices, madrasas, and palaces that reveal centuries of history. Within this authentic setting, two properties belonging to the Virtuoso network offer two different, yet complementary, ways to experience the city: Palais Faraj and Fès Riad.

1. Architecture that tells a story

Palais Faraj is housed in a former Moorish palace overlooking the medina: elegant arches, intricate stucco, and panoramic terraces offer a unique view across the city’s rooftops. Fès Riad, on the other hand, reveals its beauty in a more intimate way: shaded courtyards filled with orange trees, murmuring fountains, and zellij mosaics that showcase the mastery of Moroccan craftsmanship.

2. Genuine hospitality

Moroccan hospitality is legendary, but here it reaches even greater heights. The team at Palais Faraj welcomes guests with discretion and professionalism, anticipating every need with bespoke service. In the riads, the atmosphere feels like a home away from home: direct contact with the hosts and the intimacy of the spaces create a warm and deeply personal experience.

3. Refined cuisine

Dining in Fès means embarking on a gastronomic journey. At Palais Faraj, panoramic restaurants reinterpret Moroccan classics with a contemporary touch, while offering breathtaking views over the city at sunset. In the riads, meals are often served in courtyards or on terraces, where the scents of spices wrap around you in an authentic, sensory experience.

4. Wellbeing and relaxation

After hours of wandering through the medina’s maze, nothing compares to the soothing warmth of a traditional hammam. Palais Faraj features an elegant spa with treatments inspired by Moroccan rituals, while the riads offer a more intimate form of wellness: small private hammams, massages with fragrant oils, and terraces perfect for sipping mint tea at dusk.

5. The Virtuoso experience

Choosing a Virtuoso property means access to exclusive privileges: upgrades, complimentary breakfasts, personalized services, and thoughtful touches that make a difference. It’s a seal of quality that elevates any stay, turning a trip to Fès into something even more memorable.

Whether you choose the regal elegance of Palais Faraj or the intimate charm of the riads, both offer a unique perspective on the city. Fès is more than a destination—it is a world to be embraced slowly, savored step by step, guided by its colors, fragrances, and the extraordinary warmth of Moroccan hospitality. Within these two Virtuoso properties, travelers discover the most authentic and refined side of Fès: a perfect balance of past and present, tradition and comfort, discovery and relaxation.
