Riad Fez Maya Suite & Spa

Riad Fez Maya Suite & Spa is a boutique riad at 12 Boulevard Ben Mohammed El Alaoui in the Derb Debbagh Bourjouaa area of Fès el-Bali, near the Chouara Tannery in Morocco's Fès-Meknès region. The location sits on the eastern side of the old medina, close to the tanneries and the Place Seffarine metalworkers' square, and within reach of the Qarawiyyin quarter and Bab Boujloud on foot. The boulevard edge of the medina allows easier vehicle access than the deeper lanes, though the final approach may still involve walking. The building is a restored traditional house arranged around a courtyard, with carved plaster, cedar woodwork and zellige tilework. Accommodation consists of Double Rooms, Suites and Family Suites, with air conditioning and WiFi, which makes the property practical for small families. Nightly rates run from about 1200 MAD in low season to roughly 2000 MAD in high season. As the name indicates, a spa and hammam are a feature, offering massages and traditional body treatments after a day in the medina. The restaurant serves Moroccan dishes, with breakfast included and dinner by reservation, and the rooftop terrace gives views over the old city. Service is friendly and informal, with staff arranging guided tours, tannery visits, cooking classes and day trips to Meknès, Volubilis and Moulay Idriss. The property suits couples and families who want spa facilities at a moderate price and a location near the tanneries.
