The HotelEnswathed in traditional Moroccan elegance, Riad Salem Fes is a majestic retreat mirroring the grandeur of its Arabic surroundings. Setting foot inside the riad, guests are met with the intricate, mosaic patterns of the floors and winding pillars, the high, sloping archways, and the rays of sunshine streaming through the stained glass windows. The traditionally-decorated suites are arranged around the grand courtyard, and come with exotic, Arabic furnishings in hues of turquoise, gold, and burnt orange. Draped in rich scarlet and gold decor, the Lalla Batoul restaurant lets travellers sink back into the soft embrace of the embroidered cushions upon the divans that line the wall, as they devour spicy Moroccan soup, bowls of cous cous, and sweet, home-made pastries. Meanwhile, the steam pours softly out of the traditional, low-lit hammam, where adventure-seekers go to reunite their mind, body, and soul with the help of soothing, indulgent treatments.

Groupon RecommendsHail a taxi and embark on the 15-minute drive to the most respected pilgrimage spot in Morocco, Moulay Idriss Zawiya, and take a walk around the building’s richly-decorated fountain and carved and painted wooden porches. Next, head to the 19th century Moulay Hassan Square surrounded by authentic Arabic architecture, or head to the Dar Glaoui, a 150-year old palace encased with 17 houses, stables, a mausoleum, cemetery, and hammam. To take a piece of Morocco back home with you, make your way to the open-air Attarine Souks and pick up traditional Moroccan textiles and haberdashery.

ReviewsTripAdvisors award Riad Salam Fes a glowing 4.5/5 stars, and comment on the welcoming personnel, calm atmosphere, well-maintained accommodation and fine cuisine.

The riad was lovely, the service was first class, and the food was excellent. While the riad is quite new, the building has a beautiful, traditional feel. There is great attention to architectural detail and aesthetics. The dining room has a sweeping vista of the city. Our breakfasts and dinners were carefully prepared and delicious. We felt well taken care of, indeed.
