A FOODIE FEAST IN FEZ

Discover authentic cuisine and hands-on culinary experiences in this vibrant Moroccan city

- 

Marrakech may be one of Morocco’s go-to travel hotspots, but Fez is quietly stepping into the spotlight as one of the country’s most compelling destinations. This ancient city, often considered the spiritual and cultural heart of Morocco, offers all the vibrancy of Marrakech but, we think, with a more authentic charm and an atmosphere as rich as its history.

WHERE TO STAY

From its lofty jewel-toned stained glass ceilings to its vibrant tiles, Palais Amani is filled with elegant architecture and decor, making it a beautiful place to call home during your stay in Fez.

Dating back in parts to the 1600s, this boutique hotel was once an abandoned grand home and has since been restored to the chic palace that now stands. Traditional touches are apparent the moment you check in, from Moroccan mint tea served in the courtyard to the straight-from-the-souk slippers waiting for you by your bed. The soothing sounds from the riad’s fountain teamed with birdsong from the surrounding citrus trees makes for a relaxing base during your visit to the bustling city and a perfect romantic getaway.
