Hotel Review

Riad Lhaj Luxury Palace is a polished Fes hotel that leans into the riad format well: intimate, recently renovated, and set up for guests who want character without giving up practical comforts. The address in Fes El Bali puts it inside the old city fabric, and the atmosphere in guest feedback points to a quiet, relaxed stay rather than a showy one.

Rooms are offered in double, twin/double, triple, family suite, and king suite configurations, so the property works for solo travelers, couples, and families alike. Guests repeatedly mention clean rooms, comfortable beds, air conditioning, and good WiFi, while the quieter rooms seem to suit people who want to sleep well after long days in the medina. The King Suite and family options should appeal to travelers who want more space, but even the simpler rooms are described as authentic and comfortable.

Food is a clear strength. Breakfast is included and the hotel serves a broad spread that can include continental, American, vegetarian, vegan, halal, and breakfast-to-go options. The on-site dining setup is more substantial than many riads, with two restaurants listed, plus a coffee shop, outdoor seating, and barbecue areas. Guests also mention food available through the day, which is useful if you prefer to stay in after exploring.

Service is another reason reviews run strong. The hotel lists private check-in and check-out, a 24-hour front desk, and concierge support, and guests praise staff for being kind, flexible, and helpful with getting around. The property also offers cooking classes, walking tours, live music, movie nights, themed dinners, and happy hour, though some of these are paid extras rather than standard inclusions.

Location is one of the biggest selling points. Riad Lhaj Luxury Palace sits about 3.8 km from the center of Fès and is close to Bab Bou Jeloud, Medersa Bouanania, Batha Square, and Karaouiyne. It is best for travelers who want a well-rated riad with breakfast included, strong guest service, and easy access to the medina without paying luxury-hotel prices.
