Riad Maison Bleue

About Riad Maison Bleue

Sleek, Moroccan design and top-class cuisine not far from the ancient sights of Fez.

Welcomed like a favourite guest to the original 1915 home, you'll feel worlds away from the streets of Fez's Medina in the Riad Maison Bleue. The charming riad has held onto so much of its antique, Moroccan aesthetic - the plump, embroidered cushions, embellished doors and traditional Fassi meals served by candlelight, to name a few. Outside, Fez is something of an enigma, which you'll see on strolls through the souks, tanneries and twisting alleys. When you return, the rooms are glamorous and pristine, the cocktails are chilled, and the hammam is ready to pamper...

Property details

The property

As is traditional, the riad is centred around a bright courtyard dotted with orange trees, sunken couches, and a small pool. The restaurant is vibrant and stylish with high-backed chairs, fluttering drapes and meals served under colourful, pointed cloches. While local musicians play, tuck into hearty Fassi dishes passed down for generations like couscous tfaya and pastilla 'au Lait' for dessert. And for those after-dinner drinks, head to the rooftop terrace and enjoy the twinkling views.

The rooms

The rooms are a sensational mix of old and new, with King-sized beds (some four-poster), eclectic artwork, ornate mirrors, and hand-picked furnishings in the sitting area. The bathrooms are swanky with a deep bath, marble and zellige finishes, and double vanities. With unrivalled views over the medina from its private terrace, the Ambassador Suite occupies the top floor. Decorated in bold pieces and cream couches, it has an ultra spacious lounge. Other amenities include a flat-screen TV, minibar, and iPod docking station.

Activities

Perhaps begin your day with yoga on the rooftop terrace or a massage in the hammam, before heading out to find leather items at the medieval tannery and spices at the souk. The riad is only a few minutes from the 14th-century Medersa Bou Inania, the Chouara Tannery, and Al Quaraouiyine Mosque, one of the oldest universities in the world, so nothing is too far. For a more adventurous day out, hike to the summit of Mount Zalagh or ride horseback in the foothills of the Middle Atlas Mountains.

Why we love it

The airy, exclusive feel of the riad... it can be hard to come by amid the buzz of Fez.

Insiders Tip

Be sure to book a culinary masterclass with the chef. You'll be cooking up traditional Moroccan dishes like a pro in no time.

Something to think about

Most rooms look out over the courtyard, so if you can't do without a Medina view, the Ambassador Suite is the only one to pick.
