What are the Best Hotels in Morocco? Part 2: Hotel Palais Jamaï Fes

Fez is an ancient spiritual, intellectual and creative capital, referred to as the "Athens of Africa" and its magnificent history emanates from the cobbled streets and ancient walls like the scent of a thousand roses. 

As a key location in the trade and migration route between Europe and Africa, Fez has played a major role in history, and continues this day as the cultural capital of the Kingdom of Morocco.

With its amazing culture and history, you're sure to be overwhelmed. What better way to enhance your enjoyment than to experience a few nights at the Hotel Palais Jamaï Fes, one of Morocco's Grand Hotels, built as a residence in 1879 for the Grand Vizier and renovated for Sofitel. It's sprawling grounds and gardens are located in the heart of the ancient medina (a UNESCO world heritage site); it is an oasis amidst the bustling souks and crafthouses.

As a bastion of the most elegant Moroccan traditions, Hotel Palais Jamaï Fes offers breathtaking views over the medina, patios, and a lush Andalusian garden, all which make this Sofitel Legend 5* hotel an ideal spot for relaxation and rejuvenation. 

With two restaurants, a hammam/spa, a bar, expansive gardens, tennis, golf, a pool, lounges and a mini palais for the kids, it is perfect for the whole family, or any business trip.  Take a day trip to Meknes, or Volubilis and enjoy the landscape of ancient grape and olive groves, or explore the medieval labyrinth of streets of Fez by day. Come back to your luxurious suite and relax before tasting the spectacular Fezzi cuisine at night in any of the restaurants.

Hotel Palais Jamaï Fes offers rooms, suites and villas, decorated in the traditional Fezzi style of intricate tilework and stained glass, with comfortable, high quality fixtures throughout. 

It's an ideal spot for family reunions, meetings, corporate events, weddings and other group journeys.

Located in the heart of the Fez medina, which is the largest car-free zone in the world, you might not need your car for days! If you shop in the medina, you can hire a man and cart to bring your acquisitions back to the hotel with you.

A trip to Fez with a stay at the Hotel Palais Jamaï Fes is always an unforgettable journey, and that is our specialty at Marrakesh Voyage. We would be honored and delighted to help you design a private, guided journey in the Kingdom of Morocco.
