Dar Bensouda

Dar Bensouda Riad offers a captivating blend of history, culture, and refined comfort in the heart of Fes’ ancient medina. Once a noble residence, the riad has been carefully restored to showcase traditional Moroccan craftsmanship while ensuring modern luxuries. Step through its understated doorway and you’ll find yourself in tranquil courtyards adorned with zellige tiles, carved cedarwood, and soothing fountains that transport you to another era.

Each room and suite has been individually styled, combining authentic Moroccan design with contemporary touches. High ceilings, warm fabrics, and handcrafted furnishings create a sense of understated elegance, while modern comforts ensure your stay is seamless. Many suites overlook the courtyards, while the rooftop terrace offers panoramic views of Fès’ sprawling skyline, the surrounding hills, and the timeless minarets that punctuate the horizon.

The riad’s swimming pool provides a refreshing escape, and the traditional hammam invites you to indulge in ancient rituals of purification and relaxation. After wandering the medina’s labyrinthine streets, retreat to the rooftop at sunset for mint tea and the unforgettable sight of Fès glowing in golden light.

Dining at Dar Bensouda celebrates Moroccan culinary heritage, with fragrant tagines and market-fresh produce prepared with care. Meals may be enjoyed in intimate courtyards or on the terrace beneath the stars, offering a true sense of place.

With its combination of historic elegance, serene spaces, and genuine Moroccan hospitality, Dar Bensouda is an ideal retreat for travellers seeking an authentic yet comfortable experience within Morocco’s most atmospheric city.
