The five-star Hotel Sahrai, designed by the architect and designer Christophe Pillet, enjoys spectacular views of the largest medina in the Arab world, taking in twelve centuries of the city’s history in one fell swoop.

Just 2h30 away from Paris, it offers a totally new hotel experience in Fez. An alternative to the shady isolation of the riads and the impersonal feel of the big resorts, its architecture on a human scale is a combination of tradition and contemporary style.

All the volumes convey the total mastery of space and light that distinguishes Christophe Pillet’s work, with a scale and layout that combine splendour with intimacy. Standing on the former site of Marshal Lyautey’s summer palace, the hotel revisits the distinctive motif of the great arches that once adorned the façade of the building that stood here.

Fifty spacious rooms along with the comfort of two restaurants, a rooftop with a bar opening onto the panoramic terrace, and an exclusive Givenchy spa, combined with a traditional hammam and a gym with Technogym equipment.

DESIGN
The entire interior and exterior décor, specifically designed for the hotel, combines classic design codes with a sophisticated take on local traditions.

Zellige pools, carved plaster and local stone cladding, Fassi ceramics and copper lanterns provide subtle references throughout the space, which also includes bespoke furniture, such as the Sahrai line designed by Christophe Pillet and now produced by Living Divani.

The Hotel Sahrai is a perfect starting point to discover all the place’s secrets. It also offers a perfect retreat from the hustle and bustle, simply bask in the sun that warms the panoramic infinity pool throughout the day. Derived from the Moroccan word for magic, the name of the Hotel Sahrai makes a beautiful promise – and keeps it.

ROOMS & SUITES
Awash in natural light, the rooms and suites at Hotel Sahrai imaginatively blur the line between traditional and modern, structure and space, extravagance and simplicity.

Designed with glass-walled bathrooms, layers of sheer curtains allow you to conceal or reveal the different spaces as you desire. Fabrics and paint harmonized in warm grey tones, a headboard in orange ochre leather, stone cladding and sculpted plaster add a touch of softness to a welcoming atmosphere.

ARABIC CALLIGRAPHY COURSE
Arabic calligraphic styles developed from the earliest times of Islam, with the spread of books of all types in the geographical area of dar al-Islam. Calligraphy is highly developed in the arts of Islam, and sometimes even takes on a symbolic value. In literature and poetry, and even in lettering, a reflection of the natural world dates back to the time of the Abbasids.

Arabic calligraphy is generally divided into two easily distinguishable groups: Kufic script, which is characterised by its angular character, and cursive script (naskhi), which is much rounder. With a master calligrapher, you will learn the subtle art of handling the Qallam in a moment of concentration and serenity.
