Overview
Palais Faraj Suites & Spa is just outside the Medina, overlooking the entire city of Fes. This 19th-century palace, extensively renovated by its owners, offers a luxurious and authentic Moroccan experience. Within a 15-minute walk, you'll find notable attractions such as Medersa Bou-Inania, Blue Gate, and the University of Al Quaraouiyine. Tombs of the Merenides is also just a short distance away, making it easy to explore this fascinating city.
The 25 guestrooms at Palais Faraj are designed to provide an authentic Moroccan experience, featuring stunning tile work (zelliges) and intricate architectural details. Each room offers a suite-like layout, with small chambers, a bedroom, and a gorgeous alcove lined with silk cushions. Kimkim travelers have praised the hotel's cleanliness, comfort, and unique character.
What sets Palais Faraj apart is its dedication to providing its guests with an authentic and memorable experience. Upon arrival, you'll be welcomed with traditional Moroccan mint tea, poured to produce the necessary froth, plus slices of cake and cookies. The friendly and attentive staff and the hotel's rich history and stunning architecture make Palais Faraj an unforgettable stay in the city of Fes.
