Set within the historic Medina of Fès, Karawan Riad is an intimate luxury riad offering just seven suites in a meticulously restored 17th-century residence. Blending Andalusian architecture, hand-carved plaster, and bespoke furnishings, it appeals to travellers seeking authenticity combined with refinement. Tucked away in the Andalous quarter, it serves as a peaceful base from which to explore the city’s mosques, madrasas and artisan workshops.
Karawan Riad occupies a restored residence, where marble pillars, zellij tiles and cedarwood ceilings celebrate Moroccan artistry. Each of the 7 suites is individually styled, featuring antiques, handwoven textiles and views across the courtyard or medina skyline. The riad’s calming interiors unfold around a central patio, library salon and rooftop terrace with expansive city views. Dining is informal yet refined, with Moroccan and Mediterranean dishes served in the dining room, courtyard or on the roof terrace. A traditional hammam and treatment room offer private spa experiences using local ingredients such as argan oil and rose water. Personalised service is central to a stay here, with the team arranging medina tours, artisan visits and cultural excursions tailored to individual interests. This is a luxury riad in Fès that combines heritage with contemporary comfort in a way that feels both intimate and timeless.
