Art-deco-meets-Fassi palace with lush gardens at the medina's edge — rooftop cocktails over the tanneries.

Palais Amani is a different flavour of Fes: a 1920s-era palace where art-deco lines meet Fassi tilework around one of the medina's largest private gardens. Sitting at the old city's edge near the river, it spares you the deep-medina luggage trek while keeping the souks a five-minute walk away.

Food is the house obsession — its cooking school starts with a dawn market run, and the rooftop bar above the tanneries is a proper destination at sunset. Rooms are big by medina standards, and the garden courtyard makes long breakfasts dangerously easy.

Why we picked it

• Rare art-deco-era palace with a large fountain garden
• A well-known cooking school and food-led experiences
• Rooftop bar looking over the medina and tanneries
