Experts' Choice Award Palais Amani
What the experts agree on
A restored 17th-century palace deep in the Fes medina, prized for its citrus-tree courtyard, blue mosaic artistry, and serene, oasis-like calm amid the bustling alleyways outside.
“Serene, peaceful, heartbreakingly beautiful, this 17th century palace with its carved plaster arches and orange-tree shaded courtyard got its Art Deco edge in the 1920s after an earthquake.”
– The Telegraph
