Dar Seffarine Hotel - Fez

Historic 600-year-old riad in the heart of Fez's ancient medina

Building & Restoration

Dar Seffarine is an approximately 600-year-old historic building in the Fes El Bali medina. The property was meticulously restored by an architect and his designer wife, retaining original architectural details such as hand-cut zellij tiles. The central courtyard and communal spaces are designed for comfort, with comfortable seating areas in certain units.

Dining

Dar Seffarine Fes offers a rooftop dining room that serves family-style meals, encouraging social interaction among guests. The menu goes beyond traditional Moroccan fare, featuring Iraqi stews and Asian curries alongside local dishes. Breakfast and dinner are communal, with the option to dine in the garden courtyard under the stars.

Dar Seffarine is located 300 ft from the Karaouiyne Mosque and Library on the narrow, car-free streets of the ancient medina. The hotel sits near Place Seffarine, within walking distance of landmarks like Medersa Bouanania and Bab Bou Jeloud. Guests can step directly into the historic heart of Fes El Bali and explore the tanneries and spice markets.
