Riad Fes Bab Rcif Suite &Spa

Eight suites occupy a restored riad on Sid El Aouad lane, metres from Bab Rcif — one of the medina's quieter eastern gates — where the Andalusian quarter's tile-setters and woodcarvers still maintain working ateliers at street level.

The spa anchors the lower floor with a traditional hammam, steam room, and a full menu of body treatments and massage. A cooking class programme introduces guests to Fassi cuisine — preserved lemon confits and bastilla technique — drawing on ingredients from the Rcif souk directly outside.

The rooftop terrace faces the minaret cluster above the Quaraouiyine; breakfast can be served in-room or taken there at sunrise before the medina wakes. The riad arranges airport transfers and guided walking tours into the tannery district, ten minutes on foot.
