Riad El Yacout

Riad El Yacout is a beautiful, traditional riad in the Medina of Fes. The rooms and all of the riad have the old world Moroccan look and feel that is so romantic. The room we had on the first floor was large and comfortable. The pool is a lovely setting and although too cold to swim in May, we enjoyed a beer sitting around the pool, The breakfast was wonderful, actually too much food, but the hospitality and the service were great. We were able to walk to the souk in the evening from the hotel without feeling nervous. Riad El Yacout is very close to the blue gate. Highly recommend this beautiful riad with wonderful staff. Fun fact - U2’s 2009 album No Line on the Horizon was recorded in part at Riad El Yacout in Fez, Morocco, during May 2007 sessions for the World Sacred Music Festival

Wow, what a beautiful Riad. True authenticity at its best. The most welcoming and friendly staff met our every need throughout our stay. Beautiful rooms, fantastic breakfasts in the courtyard and overall peace and tranquility was the order of the day. And that pool, so very inviting

We just spent 3 days with family at the beautiful Riad El Yacout. The place is absolutely superb, the person of the hotel with little care. Ideal location to walk in the medina, and easily accessible. We had the chance to dine there one evening of performance, and were able to admire traditional Berber songs and dances; as well as listen to a traditional singer playing music. Superb to spend a few days in total immersion in the medina and its traditions
