Riad El Amine Fes

A riad hotel tucked deep in the ancient medina of Fes, where hand-cut tilework covers every surface and the ceilings climb high enough to make you forget the labyrinthine streets outside. Guest suites are dressed in warm, saturated color with sitting areas built for long afternoons and mint tea. A courtyard pool anchors the social life, a hammam and spa are on hand, and two in-house restaurants turn out slow-cooked tagines from glazed earthenware.
