Riad Fes Maya Suite & Spa

Riad Fes Maya Suite & Spa is a medina riad with a spa and hammam on Boulevard Ahmed Ben Mohamed, on the edge of Fes el-Bali near the Bab Rcif gate, in Morocco's Fès-Meknès region. The location on the fringe of the old city is a practical one, since petit taxis can reach the nearby gate and the walk through the lanes to the property is shorter than from deeper inside the medina. From here, the Rcif Mosque area and Place Rcif, a lively market square on the edge of the medina, are close by, while the Qarawiyyin quarter and Bou Inania Madrasa are a walk of about 15 to 25 minutes through the lanes. The building is a traditional house around a courtyard, with zellige tilework, carved plaster and cedar details typical of Fes, and the overall style is that of a comfortable mid-range riad rather than a grand palace. Room types are Double Rooms and Suites, and published rates are about MAD 700 to 1,700 per night. Listed amenities include a spa, a hammam, a courtyard and Wi-Fi. The spa and hammam are the main selling points, offering steam, scrub and massage, and breakfast is typically served in the courtyard. Dining beyond breakfast should be confirmed with the property, and many guests eat at nearby medina restaurants or have the staff arrange meals. Service is aimed at leisure travellers and couples looking for a medina stay with spa facilities at moderate prices, and staff can usually help with guides, transfers and tours. Fes-Saïss airport is about 15 km away. Visitors should expect typical medina conditions, including stairs, narrow lanes and ambient noise from neighbouring houses and the nearby gate and road.
