Marrakech might be Morocco's go-to travel hotspot, but Fez is subtly emerging as one of the country's most captivating destinations.This ancient city, often seen as the spiritual and cultural heart of Morocco, offers all the vibrancy of Marrakech but with, we think, a more genuine charm and an atmosphere as rich as its history.

Where to stay in Fez With its high jewel-toned stained glass ceilings and vibrant tiles, Palais Amani is brimming with elegant architecture and decor, making it a stunning place to call home during your stay in Fez, with parts of this boutique hotel date back to the 1600s.

Once an abandoned grand house, it has been restored into the chic palace that stands today.Traditional touches greet you from the moment you check in, from Moroccan mint tea served in the courtyard to the straight-from-the-souk slippers waiting by your bed.The calming sounds from the riad's fountain combined with birdsong from the surrounding citrus trees provide a tranquil base during your visit to the bustling city and an ideal romantic escape, reports the Mirror.

Eden, the dining area nestled within the riad's citrus grove, serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. Breakfast is a lavish affair with fresh coffee, juice, fruit and yoghurt, as well as mezze platters of jam, honey, olives, bread and pancakes.
