Palais Medina & Spa

Palais Medina & Spa is a hotel spa on Boulevard Allal El Fassi in the Ville Nouvelle of Fes, in Morocco's Fès-Meknès region. The setting is a palace-style hotel in the modern part of the city, with Moroccan decorative touches such as arches, tilework and carved woodwork brought into an upscale, comfortable interior. The spa follows that design, with a calm, softly lit atmosphere suited to guests seeking an easy, comfortable break between excursions to the old medina. The listed offerings are a hammam, massage and body treatments. The hammam delivers the Moroccan bathing ritual of steam, black soap and gommage scrub in a private hotel setting, while massage and body treatments such as wraps and scrubs provide the wider spa menu. The precise menu should be confirmed with the property. Prices run from about MAD 400 to MAD 1,000 per treatment, placing the spa in the middle to upper range for Fes, and sessions last 60 to 120 minutes. Therapists in hotel spas of this type are generally trained in hammam practice and international massage techniques, and the spa's reputation is best judged by recent guest reviews as no formal accreditation can be confirmed. Facilities listed are the hammam and treatment rooms; a pool or other amenities may exist but should be confirmed with the hotel and not assumed. Booking ahead is advisable, and hotel guests are normally prioritised. Non-guests should ask when reserving whether outside visitors are accepted and what the access terms are. Robes and towels are normally provided, and swimwear or disposable underwear is worn in the hammam. The Boulevard Allal El Fassi address is a short taxi ride from the medina gates, which makes the spa a convenient finish to a day of sightseeing. Confirm hours, menu and prices directly with the property before arriving.
