Riad Ibn Battouta

Situated close to the Batha Museum and the main entrance to the medina, Bab Boujloud, 7 suites Riad Ibn Battouta is a magnificent house that has recently been restored. From the roof terrace there is a wonderful panoramic view across the ancient city of Fez and the surrounding countryside.

This is an excellent location for exploring the labyrinth of the oldest medina in Morocco, as well as being close to taxis for a trip to the new city.

Each of the seven suites (two of which have their own private roof terraces) is decorated in the style of one of the destinations of that famous traveller of old, Ibn Battouta. Each room conjures up a unique ambience that blends East and West.

Relax in the traditional hammam, the massage room, or on the roof terraces where breakfast and dinner can be served, or simply settle into a comfortable chair and listen to the soothing sounds of the courtyard fountain.

Riad's restaurant offers all the refinements of traditional Fassi cuisine. Dinner can be served in our courtyard in the glow of the glass lamp suspended high above the rich marble and mosaic tiles. The traditional Arab-Andalusian style of the house is shown to perfection in this light.
