Riad Laaroussa

The Riad Laaroussa is a beautiful 4-star hotel located in the town of Fes, in northern Morocco. Housed within a former 17th century palace that has been renovated by area craftsmen, this hotel features high ceilings, arched doorways, lovely traditional decor, and beautifully detailed tile work. After a long day of travel, you can unwind to the sounds of water fountains on the patio beneath the shade of orange trees. Later, get scrubbed down with traditional black soap in the hammam then get a massage with jasmine or orange flower oil amidst candles, aromatherapy, and soothing music. When you get hungry, dine on delicious Fassi cuisine on the patio or the terrace, which offers an amazing view, or in winter next to the cozy fireplace. Nearby you can play a few rounds of golf on a picturesque 18-hole golf course; soak in hot sulfur springs at the resort, Moulay Tacoub; go horseback riding into the countryside; or visit the site of ancient Roman ruins.
