Experience the finest hotels, dining, and exclusive experiences Fès-Meknès has to offer.

Fès-Meknès has 6+ luxury hotels and experiences covered in this guide, led by Riad Fès Relais & Châteaux, Sofitel Fès Palais Jamaï and Riad Maison Bleue. Each entry below includes the practical details — what it costs, when to go, and how to plan around it.

Fès-Meknès is a region of north-central Morocco that holds two of the country's four imperial cities: Fès, home to the world's largest living medieval medina and the oldest university in continuous operation, and Meknès, the 17th-century capital of Sultan Moulay Ismail. Between and around them lie the Roman ruins of Volubilis, the holy hilltop town of Moulay Idriss Zerhoun, the cedar forests and lakes of the Middle Atlas around Ifrane and Azrou, and the cherry-growing towns of Sefrou and Bhalil.
