Riad Al Makan Fes & Spa

Riad Al Makan sits at 8 Derb El Guebbas in the Batha quarter of Fez el-Bali, a short walk from the Bou Inania madrasa and the tanneries of Chouara. The address places guests inside the walled medina rather than on its tourist perimeter, meaning the morning call to prayer and the smell of cedar from the woodworkers' souk arrive before any organised excursion does.

The spa runs a full hammam circuit — steam room, body scrub, and wraps — alongside a solarium and dedicated relaxation lounge. Cooking classes and themed dinners use the riad's own kitchen, offering a less generic introduction to Fassi cuisine than the medina's tourist restaurants. The rooftop terrace and sun deck provide open views across the roofline.

Rooms feature tile and marble floors typical of traditional Moroccan construction, air conditioning, and minibars. Airport transfers and a bicycle rental desk cover both ends of a stay.
