Dar Roumana
The ‘house of the pomegranate’, Dar Roumana is a refined riad in Fès, and lies within the medina’s northern quarter, moments from the Blue Gate yet blissfully serene. Housed in a restored early-20th-century residence, its suites are arranged around a peaceful courtyard. More private home than hotel, the in-house restaurant, led by Chef Younes Idrissi, is considered among the city’s finest, where French technique meets Moroccan produce in an atmospheric, lantern-lit dining room.
Each of Dar Roumana’s 4 spacious suites and its 1 double room is individually styled, combining historic detail with discreet modern comfort. Expect high panelled ceilings, ornate stucco window arches, finely carved shutters over stained glass windows and beautifully patterned floor tiling. On the rooftop terrace, enjoy far-reaching views over the ochre city. Dining is central to the experience. The restaurant’s 5-course tasting menu evolves with the seasons, using local produce and herbs grown on-site, blending French finesse with Moroccan flavour. With its scale and intimacy, Dar Roumana feels personal. The staff share insider knowledge of the city’s artisans and arrange guided walks or excursions beyond the walls. When you are not exploring you will find plenty of shady lounges and sun-drenched terraces to stretch out with a book, sip a cool drink over a game of cards, or simply doze on the verdant roof terrace. It is a serene retreat that reflects the artistry and spirit of Fès.
