Spa Riad Fès by Cinq Mondes is the spa of Riad Fès, a Relais & Châteaux hotel in the Zerbtana quarter of the Fez medina. It covers 200 square metres and was designed by the French designer Christophe Pillet, who worked in stone and wood rather than modern hotel finishes. The layout runs to two hammam cabins, three massage rooms, a treatment room and a rest room.
Why book
Spa Riad Fès by Cinq Mondes in Fez is the spa of Riad Fès, a Relais & Châteaux hotel set inside a restored riad in the medina's Zerbtana quarter.
The 200 square metre space was designed by Christophe Pillet and built in stone and wood, so it reads as part of the house rather than a hotel add on.
It works with the French spa house Cinq Mondes and the Moroccan brand marocMaroc, which means the products are not standard hotel toiletries.
Two separate hammam cabins mean two people can take the steam and scrub ritual at the same time without sharing a room.
Treatments
Rituel du Hammam is the traditional steam and scrub ritual and runs one hour.
Rituel Sublime de Polynésie is a longer body ritual lasting one hour and thirty minutes.
Journée Céleste is the full package at two hours and twenty minutes.
Treatments are given across two hammam cabins, three massage rooms and a dedicated treatment room.
Price range
Rituel du Hammam is priced at 900 MAD for one hour.
Rituel Sublime de Polynésie is 1,450 MAD for one hour and thirty minutes.
Journée Céleste is 2,250 MAD for two hours and twenty minutes.
The spa menu quotes every price in Moroccan dirham.
Best time
A hammam works better at the end of a day of walking the medina than at the start of one.
Spring and autumn are the main travel seasons in Fez, so ask about slots well ahead in those months.
Fez summers are hot, so a late afternoon or evening appointment is more comfortable.
How to combine
The riad sits in the upper medina, walking distance from Bab Boujloud and the Talaa Kebira.
Spend the morning at the Al Attarine Madrasa and the Chouara tannery, then take the hammam slot afterwards.
Riad Fès sells packages that put a treatment, dinner and an overnight stay together, useful if you are already looking for a night in the medina.

Yes, treatments at Spa Riad Fès are by appointment. The spa has only two hammam cabins and three massage rooms, so capacity is small and times are arranged directly with the riad by phone or email.
The Spa Riad Fès was designed by the French designer Christophe Pillet, who used stone and wood across the 200 square metre space inside the historic riad in the Fez medina.
