Palais Amani, Medina Fez, Morocco.

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.

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: the ingredients at the Eden Restaurant and rooftop bar; the rituals and products used at the Hammam; the storytelling evenings, courses in calligraphy and wine tasting. At Fez Cooking School, you can learn all about Moroccan and Sephardic cuisine that you can recreate back at home.
