Dar Lys Luxury Riad & Spa

On the outskirts of Fès’ historic medina—close to the famous Bab Boujloud Gate and the Batha area—you’ll find Dar Lys, a brand new, contemporary riad that marries all the classic Moroccan virtues with modern comforts. 

Although the building itself is new, the atmosphere is reminiscent of the original homes: stunning mosaics, intricately carved woodwork, and tranquil courtyards—only here the spaces are a little more generous, there’s more natural light, and the comforts are considerably more extensive. 

The hotel boasts 18 tastefully decorated rooms, where traditional materials are beautifully blended with modern touches. Each room features air conditioning, a minibar, a Nespresso machine, a TV, and complimentary Wi-Fi. 

At the heart of the riad lies a peaceful courtyard, while the rooftop terrace offers a small pool for a refreshing dip and stunning views out across the rooftops of the medina. Breakfast is also served here when the weather plays along. 

Dar Lys also features its own spa area complete with hammam and massage facilities, and its restaurant serves contemporary interpretations of classic Moroccan cuisine. 

The quiet yet central setting makes Dar Lys an ideal choice for those seeking an authentic atmosphere, a touch of luxury, and all of the modern conveniences.
