Hôtel Sahrai

Hôtel Sahrai is a contemporary five-star hotel on the hillside above the Ville Nouvelle in Fes, Morocco, on Rue Mokadem Lotelique. Its elevated position gives views over the city, and the medina's gates are a short drive away, with taxis the normal way to reach Fes el-Bali because the old city is pedestrian-only. The hotel's defining character is architectural: a white, cubist composition of clean lines and terraces that sets it apart from both the traditional riads of the medina and the more conventional hotels of the new town. The mood is design-led and calm, aimed at travellers who want modern luxury in a Moroccan setting. Rooms are offered as Deluxe Rooms, Suites and Terrace Suites, and prices sit in the luxury band of about MAD 1,800 to 4,200 per night depending on season and room type. Listed amenities include a spa, an outdoor pool, a rooftop sky bar, a restaurant and Wi-Fi. The sky bar is notable for its view across the city, making it a popular spot at sunset for drinks. The restaurant provides on-site dining, and breakfast and dinner can be taken without leaving the hotel, which is convenient after long days in the medina. The spa and pool give guests a wellness and relaxation option, particularly appealing in the heat of summer. Service follows the five-star pattern, with concierge support for guides, excursions and transfers, and a polished, international level of hospitality suited to couples, honeymooners and discerning leisure travellers. A telephone line is listed for the property for enquiries. The trade-off for the hillside setting is distance from the medina, so visitors planning daily medina walks should budget for taxi transfers, while those who prioritise comfort, views and quiet will find the setting an advantage.
