DAR ZIRYAB is located in the center of the modern city of Fes, in a calm side street right behind the Sheraton hotel and near the handicraft centre. After a short five minute walk you will be in front of the royal palace city walls, in the mellah (Jewish district of the city) or at the railway station.
Hidden behind a high hedge, skilfully blending colourful blossoms with enticing fragrances, you will find a jewel built in traditional Moroccan style with the various decorative elements of the diverse Moroccan architecture. Charmingly arranged rooms and suites, lounges with a warm atmosphere and cosy corners to relax and to look into the secrets of old books, snug places in the romantic garden or private terraces where you can review the events of the day, sipping hot mint tea - all this is offered in DAR ZIRYAB.
The rooms are all organized in accordance with traditional Moroccan lifestyle and installed with a modern understanding of comfort and taste.
At the heart of Dar Ziryab are the bathrooms in which the walls are covered with the ever popular tadellakt, a wall covering made up of lime, egg whites and pigments which are polished to create a marble like painting. The perfect harmony with the traditional zellidj mosaics found on the floor and on some parts of the side walls creates a balanced symbiosis. The mirrors designed by modern Moroccan artists and lit by magnificent bronze chandeliers are a testimony to the refined combination of traditional and modern Moroccan decorative elements. The many apparently insignificant details of the North African Oriental way of living that you will discover during your stay at DAR ZIRYAB will contribute to enable you to relax and enjoy the sensual pleasures of bathroom pampering. |
