The term riad might sit loosely on this palace style hotel, but it does bring a sense of the grand to this spiritual capital of Morocco. Three distinct styles are gracefully carried through the riad: the Moorish traditions of mosaics and Islamic carvings marry with the neutral marble colonnades and sculpted arches as well as a contemporary Baroque patio featuring grey tadelakt walls, black marble floors and crystal ceiling lights. 
The restaurants of Riad Fes are a highlight - try The Oriental for its superb presentation of classic Moroccan flavours. Sneak out for a pre-sleep belt of fine cognac and cigar in the elegant bar if Casablanca was the kind of movie that captured you.
