Fodor's Expert Review Riad Dar Bensouda

14, Zkak El Bghel, Fez, Fez-Meknès, Morocco

Soaring ceilings, carved cedarwood, ornate stucco, and intricate zellij tiling reflect the sensitive restoration of this 17th-century mansion. The furnishings, almost minimalist by Moroccan standards, allow the stunning architecture to shine. Spacious rooms are spread across three courtyards, and the suites come with fireplaces and large tubs. There’s plenty of lounging space on the sun-filled roof terrace, as well as a patio pool and a cozy lounge complete with a log fire for cooler days. Don't miss a scrub and massage at the spa.

PROS

  • Friendly, efficient staff
  • Public spaces include a lounge and rooftop terrace
  • Central but tranquil location

CONS

  • Relatively minimalist furnishings may not appeal to all
  • Pedestrian-only access
  • Good but limited restaurant menu
