Fez and the Middle Atlas Hotels

Hotels in Fez range from the luxurious and the comprehensively comfortable, such as the Sofitel Palais Jamaï, to more personal, atmospheric riads that offer everything from kitschy decor to authentic traditional living, and more upscale, boutique versions such as the trendy Palais Amani. Hotels in or near the Fez el-Bali are best, as the medina is probably what you came to see. In Meknès, there is a more limited choice, with a few gems competing at the top end. In the Middle Atlas, the newly renovated resort of Michlifen Suites and Spa draws local elite for its Anglo-European styling. The Middle Atlas offers a selection of good hotels. Some of the inns and auberges off the beaten path should be thought of as shelter rather than full-service hotels, as lodging tends to be indistinguishable.
