City Hotel: An oasis of calm in the Fes medina
The Palais Amani riad is a typical city hotel. Guests are constantly amazed to find such a magnificent palace with a large garden and beautiful sun terrace amid the narrow, winding streets of the old town. The central location allows guests to dive directly from the hotel into the bustling Fes medina, with its souks, palaces, mosques and ancient city gates. Fes is one of Morocco’s four imperial cities and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Despite its central location, guests enjoy a peaceful atmosphere thanks to the riad’s thick walls and soundproof windows.
Eating & Drinking: Moroccan delicacies
The breakfast buffet consists of typical Moroccan dishes, though a continental breakfast can be served at an additional cost. Guests can choose to breakfast either in the "Palais Amani" restaurant, on the terrace overlooking the garden, or in their rooms. The restaurant is decorated in blue and white tile mosaics and is also open to non-guests. The focus is on traditional Moroccan dishes prepared from fresh ingredients, preferably from local and organic farms, supplemented by light French cuisine. For hotel guests, brunch, lunch and dinner are served here. Dinner consists of a traditional three-course menu, though the chef of the house can also take special requirements into account, and it can also be eaten à la carte. Before or after dinner, the rooftop bar is a perfect place to enjoy the spectacular panoramic view of the former winter garden. Tapas can be ordered during the day on the terrace, in the garden and at the bar. Snacks and light meals are also served between 12.00 and 22.00 in the room.
Sport & Leisure: The Spa Amani, a feast for the senses

In summer and autumn the treatments are offered in the pergola on the roof, with views over the city. The beauty salon also offers special facials, manicures and pedicures.

Crafts and oriental markets can be found in the medina.
