Hotel Review

Palais Medina Riad Resort delivers a polished first impression: the marble‑tiled lobby opens onto a 5‑hectare Andalusian garden, and guests are welcomed by staff who guide them to the check‑in desk between 14:00 and 20:00. The design blends traditional Moroccan motifs with contemporary comforts, and the panoramic view of Jbel Zallagh Hill frames the outdoor pool area, where a snack bar serves light bites throughout the day.

Guest rooms are air‑conditioned and spacious, with décor that balances elegance and simplicity. Reviewers note that the large windows let in ample light and that the en‑suite bathrooms feature walk‑in showers and premium toiletries, making the rooms suitable for couples seeking romance and business travelers needing a quiet workspace. While the property does not list specific suite names, the overall room quality aligns with the “very good” rating and the 8/10 guest score derived from 1,923 reviews.

Breakfast is included and praised for its variety of fresh fruit, pastries, and hot options, providing a solid start before exploring the Old Medina. The on‑site restaurant and bar are modest but serve Moroccan dishes and international favorites, and the poolside snack bar offers quick refreshments without the formality of a full‑service venue.

Facilities extend beyond the pool: a luxury spa centre offers massages and hammam rituals, free Wi‑Fi covers the garden and public areas, and the hotel provides complimentary parking and confirmed on‑property EV charging for electric‑vehicle guests. Security staff are visible, and cleaning services receive consistent commendations for thoroughness. The location, adjacent to the Fez Borj shopping centre, places guests within easy reach of markets and dining while remaining a short drive from historic sites, making the resort a versatile base for leisure and business alike.
