Palais Amani is a family-run, 21-room property, housed in the former home of one of Fez’s most prominent families. We pride ourselves on being the local choice: we work exclusively with local staff, ingredients and products so that we can give back to the community of Fez. Located within the walls of Fez’s ancient Medina, Palais Amani is a traditional palace that has been lovingly restored into a five-star boutique hotel.
As soon as you walk through the doors, you are transported to another dimension; the contrast between the bustle outside and the tranquil haven within is breathtaking. The sound of the soothing central fountain and the chatter of birds in the garden, transports you to a paradise unmatched for a romantic getaway.
Thanks to the uniqueness of our historic listed building each room is different, yet the quality is the same throughout: exquisite Moroccan pastries await the guests in their room, the bathrooms are decorated with fresh rose petals making a perfect setting for a romantic break. At night the whole palace bathes in candle light and you can dine beneath the citrus trees before retiring to your bedroom and slipping into the Egyptian cotton bed linen under soft down duvets.
Palais Amani has a rich history, apparent in the architecture of the property: from the Iraqi stained-glass windows to the Moroccan tiling. And this history colours everything we offer: the ingredients at the Eden Restaurant and rooftop bar; the rituals and products we use at the Hammam; our storytelling evenings, courses in calligraphy and wine tasting. At our Fez Cooking School, you can learn all about Moroccan and Sephardic cuisine that you can recreate back at home.
We are now a 21-room, 50-staff, family-run property and pride ourselves in being the local choice. We are passionate about preserving the city’s heritage and giving back to the community. Twenty one rooms and suites set around majestic gardens, a gastronomic restaurant, two licensed bars, a full luxury hammam and massage facilities, and home to the renown Fez Cooking School, Palais Amani is the natural choice for an authentic experience in the best of all things Moroccan. Dine in our hidden paradise under the mature citrus trees by the fountain, or in our exquisite dining room for an unforgettable culinary adventure A restaurant with an “A la carte” menu, a Tasting Menu and a Light Menu to suit all tastes and appetites. Our luxurious hammam complete with separate exfoliation room, showers and relaxation area allow you to benefit fully from this tradition. Our assistants will introduce you to the ritual of purification, and for those who are adept, they will make sure that your visit leaves you relaxed both in body and spirit.
