A truly unique place to stay at in Fez
The Riad Arabesque is an old institution in Fez. Celebrities such as Usher, Brad Pitt and George Clooney have all stayed here and it is clear why. The staff are making sure that you feel like you are staying at the house of someone you know rather than at a hotel. It is a personal and genuine experience in all aspects that I can highly recommend.
