Riad Jamaï is the only traditional renovated riad in the Andalusian quarter, as you will see, this riad offers exceptional architecture to travelers from around the world. Launched in March 2010, this guesthouse acquired in 2008 first saw catering activity animating its corridors and staircases. Then after two years of renovation work, the riad fes in the Andalusian quarter, located next to the Moulay Rachid high school, received its first booking arrivals for accommodation in Fes. This marked the launch of the tourist activity with staff from Fes able to explain the entire history of this imperial city, spiritual and religious capital of the kingdom.
A riad in fes is not a hotel
After years of experience, we can say today that a few missteps were made with some travelers from around the world. A riad in the Fes medina does not correspond to a hotel or to the travel standards that some Westerners may expect. For example, certain comforts are not present, such as an elevator, which goes without saying for those who know the medina and its history, but for some travelers the elevator should have been part of the building. There is no need to explain the gap between a client used to hotels and a clientele eager to discover tradition, architecture, and respect for Moroccan culture.
A palace from the Thousand and One Nights described by our clients from around the world
Whether travelers come from Europe, America, Asia, or Australia, they all unanimously describe the riad as a palace from the Thousand and One Nights. Its architecture reflects the luxury of the years when Fes was an important hub on the African continent. How do you tell a riad apart from a dar or a hotel? The answer is simple: the medina only hosts riads and dars, former traditional houses that have been renovated. The new town, Fes El Jdid, on the other hand, has seen the construction of structures dedicated to the hotel industry, where contemporary materials have replaced bejmats, zelliges, and moucharabiehs. Without being at a luxury level, Riad Jamaï offers customization for each of its rooms and suites.
A true, authentic, and human riad
Riad Jamaï offers a stay as its owners had envisioned it, right at the heart of Moroccan life, in the medina of Fes. The medina is the lifeblood of the Moroccan way of life, offering total immersion in its traditions. The team of the riad fes in the Andalusian quarter is 100% Fassi, locals from Fes and its region, and they take pride in showing the quality of life in Morocco and the spirit that reigns in this imperial city. Without being overly focused on fashion-catalog luxury, Riad Jamaï is above all a human adventure with Mohammed, its manager, and the shopkeepers of the medina. All the comfort you expect will be met, whether in the 2-person rooms in Fes or in one of the 6 suites overlooking the building of the riad fes in the Andalusian quarter: Riad Jamaï.
