Riad Fes...
Out of all my traveling experiences, the one at Riad Fes has to be on top of the list. I've yet to see another place with such decor and charm in every single space. The warmth and charisma of all of its employees, makes you feel as you're a king/queen.
For those of you who live for the culinary art, you MUST eat at the Riad Fes. Because of the ellaborated work and condimentation that each of the Moroccan dishes need, the Riad Fes requests its guests choose their dinner early in the morning. You may be strolling around the narrow streets of the Medina but on and off your taste butts will trigger as you think about the meal awaiting for you at the hotel. Once you sit at the table and smell and taste dishes such as couscous, pastilla, lamb kedra, tagine, etc... you'll be delightful. If Riad Fes was to import its cuisine to the world, it would make it an automatic 5 stars establishment. Did I mention the breakfast is complimentary and it's one of the most amazing meals I've had?
The rooms and the decor of the hotel are fabulous. Each and every room has pieces of art you would only see at a palace. The entire property is impecable. I would almost pay if someone was to show me a bit of dust.
The location of the hotel is very convenient as a taxi is able to drop you off within 2 blocks away from the hotel. This leaves a lot of relieve for those who are hesitant about strolling around the Medina on their own. If you need any information about the hotel I'd suggest you contact Cezarina who is one of the most professional and sympathetic hotel managers I've met.
The hotel also has one of the most amazing views of the city of Fes. You can go up to the terrace and admire all the centuries of architecture that are displayed across the Medina while holding a hot cup of mint tea.
If you're visiting Morocco and you decide to spend some time in Fes, the Riad Fes is the way to go. Please ask them to refer you to the most amazing guide in town (Jamal Gamil). He will show you Fes and take you back to the 9th, 13th and 20th centuries within hours.
Thanks a lot for such an amazing experience Riad Fes and we'll see you soon!!!
