After sitting dormant for over a quarter of a century, this splendid 17th-century palace has opened its doors to share its story with the world. Restored to former glory, the interiors tell quite the history, not unlike the lineage of Fez itself. From the Iraqi stained-glass windows to the delicate Moroccan tiling, from the Fassi cuisine served under citrus trees in the courtyard to the storytelling evenings, the whimsical mystery and charm of Fez is ever-present. Then, one step outside the grand, cedar doors will have you in the middle of soaring minarets, tanneries and all the street food you could ask for.
The rooms are contemporary, fresh and colourful with eye-catching paintings, plush beds and dual air-cons. They range from cosy rooms with a view of the garden or medina to the suites, which have a spacious lounge, dressing room and ornate furnishings. Some have an additional single room and the Grand Suite occupies the entire south wing. The most luxurious are the Misriah Apartments, which are spaced out across two floors with authentic zellige tiling and a large, well-appointed bathroom.
The staff at Palais Amani love sharing the story of the palace - and it's a fascinating one at that.
For a lingering experience of Moroccan wine, book the five-course tasting dinner with a course to match each bottle.
For larger groups or families, the Misriah Apartments can accommodate up to four adults and two children.
