Jnan Palace Fès

Jnan Palace Fès is a large luxury hotel on Avenue Ahmed Chaouki in the Ville Nouvelle of Fès, in Morocco's Fès-Meknès region. It stands on a hill within a landscaped garden, a few kilometres from the medina of Fès el-Bali, which is reached by a short taxi ride. The Ville Nouvelle location puts the hotel near the main avenues, cafés and shops of the French-era new town, and the train station is also nearby. The building follows a classic palace-hotel style, with generous public spaces, gardens and a resort feel that suits groups and families as well as individual travellers. Room categories include Standard Rooms, Superior Rooms, Junior Suites and Suites, all with air conditioning and WiFi. Dining is split across several restaurants and a bar, serving Moroccan and international dishes, with a buffet breakfast as the main morning meal. Leisure facilities include an outdoor pool set in the gardens, a spa and a gym, and parking is available on site. Service is oriented toward tour groups, conference guests and holidaymakers, and the reception can arrange medina excursions, guided tours and transfers. Published rates run from about 1,300 MAD in low season to about 2,200 MAD in high season, which makes it a comparatively accessible option within the luxury category. Visitors who prefer a hotel with extensive grounds and facilities, rather than the intimacy of a medina riad, often choose it, accepting the trade-off of being outside the old city. Spring and autumn are the most comfortable seasons for the pool and gardens, while summer afternoons are hot and best spent indoors or by the water.
