The stylish inner patio, a perfect spot for intimate dining.

Fez is Morocco's oldest imperial city, with its medina classified as a World Heritage Site. It is a symbolic reference of Morocco, commonly perceived as embracing the more authentic side, thanks to the Medina, open markets, decadent souks and traditional customs. Here you'll find young ones carrying bread from the communal ovens around the labyrinth streets, and others carrying their load on a mule. It is a wonderful step back in time. Palais Amani is a former grand Fassi family house that was renovated by its current owners in 2006. They spent three and a half years transforming the house into the boutique 15 room palatial stay in Fez that stands today.If you're looking for a serene, relaxing and boutique stay in Fez, Palais Amani in its decadent and leafy glory is a worthy contender. Tucked away down a side street within the walls of the medina, you can find a humble building which boosts the most glorious inner patio.
