About Us
The Story
The Riad was originally built in the 14th century by the Qayed (commander) Bezari. This was a powerful man in Fez Medina, he was the representative of the Sultan of Morocco at that time. His family was also one of the richest families in that era with a lot of land that they were exploiting. The Riad is in the old Medina through Bab (gate)rcif. It is located 2 minutes walk from the gate and it was built in the center of the old city of Fez so that the Qayed will be closer to his people.
It is being renovated since 2013 taking much time to get the original structure as it was before. The idea is to have our guests live the real life as people did six centuries ago.
It has a large open area in the center and 5 separate suites with their private baths. Four suites were divided on the wives and one master suite was for the Qayed.
We were able to get all the information from the family’s records and we were able to recreate them as they were before.
These suites are as follow:
Suite Fez
This suite was inspired from the architecture of the spiritual city of Fez. Its living space is about 24 square meters with ceilings over 5 meters in height. The full bathroom is separate. It was named Fes as he was originally from Fez.
The original colors were kept as they were.
