n the vibrant heart of the medina of Fez, Riad Mayfez Suites & Spa stands as a timeless urban oasis, guardian of inherited elegance and a rare art of hospitality. A former 19th-century vizier’s palace listed as a historic monument, the residence cultivates a deeply personal welcome, rooted in tradition yet free from the conventions of traditional hospitality, carried by the attentive presence of dedicated butlers. Around the vast tree-filled patio, the black marble pool captures the light and diffuses a mineral freshness, almost silent. The seven suites and room, each entirely distinctive, blend carefully selected antiques, Moroccan craftsmanship and cosmopolitan influences; bioethanol fireplaces, generous bathrooms and private terraces open onto ochre rooftops and the hills of the Middle Atlas. From the panoramic terrace, Fez unfolds in all its depth, punctuated by the call of the minarets. In the former vizier’s harem, MY’SPA extends the experience with a traditional hammam, jacuzzi and treatments inspired by ancestral rituals. Best Gastronomy: At L’Odalisque, dining follows the rhythm of one’s desires, set in a salon, a suite or in the garden, as a tribute to Morocco’s culinary heritage. Under the direction of Chef Houssam, local produce, garden herbs and flowers shape a cuisine that is authentic and subtly reinterpreted. Exclusively Moroccan wines and porcelain crafted in Fez complete an experience as intimate as it is refined.
