El Fenn

El Fenn occupies a cluster of connected riads near the Koutoubia Mosque in the western Medina, close enough to walk to Jemaa el-Fnaa and the main souks. Co-founded by Vanessa Branson, the property is built around an extensive contemporary art collection displayed throughout its courtyards, corridors and rooftop spaces, giving it a gallery-like atmosphere distinct from more traditionally decorated riads. Rooms are categorized as Queen, Double and King Rooms up to Suites, each with individually chosen artwork, textiles and furniture. The restaurant serves Moroccan and international dishes, and the rooftop bar is a popular sunset spot with panoramic views over the Medina toward the Atlas Mountains. Wellness facilities include several rooftop pools, spa treatments available in-room or in dedicated treatment spaces, and a small cinema room for evening screenings. Service leans toward a boutique, design-conscious clientele, with a concierge team experienced in arranging private art tours, hammam visits and excursions, and free WiFi throughout the property. The riad also runs a small library and screening room stocked with film and art books, and its multiple interconnected courtyards mean guests can find a quiet corner even when the rooftop bar is busy in the evening. Breakfast is served either in the courtyard or on the roof depending on the season, and the on-site shop sells textiles and homeware sourced from local artisans, reinforcing the property's design-forward identity.
