Riad Maison Bleue occupies a 19th Century house that once belonged to Moulay Bel Arbi El Alaoui, an eminent judge and professor of theology. A famous Moroccan philosopher, Aziz Lahbabi, was also born and raised in this house.

Today it serves as the second guesthouse restored and run by the El Abbadi family, and consists of three interconnecting houses, which creates an intimate and romantic atmosphere. When exploring the routes connecting the houses guests can feel as though they are negotiating the laneways of the ancient Medina of Fez.

enovated from ruins, Riad Maison Bleue, the sister property to La Maison Bleue, is an elegant hotel that successfully combines traditional Moroccan influences with modern sensibilities. 

The 18 suites, comfortable restaurant, private spa and hammam, well-equipped gym and intimate bar exude an air of discreet luxury. 

The main courtyard, with its swimming pool and lush garden is surrounded by three deluxe rooms and a Moorish salon. Here you will be welcomed upon arrival with a bowl of orange-blossom scented milk and almond-stuffed dates.

Six of the suites overlook this courtyard, where the palm trees, mandarin trees and pool combine to create an oasis of calm.
