Top Hotels with Swimming Pools in Fes

Fes Heritage Boutique luxury Hotel adds something rare to a city stay in Fès: a year-round outdoor pool, which gives children a break between visits. Rooms have air conditioning and private bathrooms, and balconies with city views. The garden and terrace offer quiet corners, and the restaurant avoids evening searches for dinner. Parents can book the spa and hammam. A rating of 9.8 from 407 reviews is exceptional, so book early.

Riad Citronnier & Spa in Fès is unusual for a riad: it has an indoor pool plus a plunge pool, which gives children a swim between visits in any season. Family rooms are air-conditioned with a private bathroom, a patio, a dressing room and a TV, so there is space to spread out. The traditional restaurant serves Moroccan dishes with halal options, and the terrace and outdoor seating offer quiet corners. WiFi is free. Guests rate it 9.3 out of 10 over 131 reviews.

Riad Marjana Suites & Spa is a five-star riad in Fès whose indoor pool works in any weather, a real plus with children after a morning of sightseeing. Rooms are air-conditioned with free WiFi, and the on-site restaurant saves searching for dinner with tired children. Parents can take turns at the spa and hammam, and the terrace and 24-hour front desk complete the picture. Guests rate it 8.9 out of 10 over 604 reviews.

Palais Faraj Suites & Spa occupies a former Arab-Moorish palace in Fès, so families stay somewhere with real history while remaining close to the medina. The outdoor pool gives children a break from walking the old town, and parents can use the full-service spa with hammam and massage treatments. Air-conditioned suites decorated with Moroccan zellige tiles offer space to spread out, and two restaurants mean dinner is never far away. I would recommend it, with a guest score of 8.9 from more than 200 reviews.

I would pick Dar Lys for a family that wants a five-star riad stay in Fès with room to spread out. There are family rooms, a rooftop swimming pool, a lush garden and a games room, so children are not left with nothing to do. Adults get the spa and hammam, the restaurant and the bar. Private check-in and check-out, free WiFi and free private parking smooth the logistics. Guests rate it 8.8 across 363 reviews.

Sahrai has a separate children's pool next to the infinity pool, and that alone makes it easier with young children than a medina riad, where the patio basin is decorative and the stairs are steep. Babysitting is available, but beyond that the hotel offers little aimed at children and advertises no kids' club, so plan the days yourself. The hill is quiet at night, which suits early bedtimes. Every visit to the tanneries or the Bou Inania madrasa means a car ride of about 10 minutes, and the lanes of Fès el-Bali are no place for a pushchair, so bring a baby carrier. I would choose it for families with children old enough to enjoy the pool and to see the medina in half-day outings; parents of toddlers who expect organised activities will not find them here.

Menzeh Zalagh 2Boutique Hôtel & Sky is a four-star hotel in the centre of Fès, and its pool with a surrounding terrace is the main asset for families after a morning in the medina. Rooms are air-conditioned, some with a balcony and views over the old town. Parents can book the spa and hammam, and the restaurant keeps dinner simple. The nightclub and wine bar point to an adult evening crowd, worth knowing with young children. Guests rate it 8.6 out of 10 over 578 reviews.

I would pick Menzeh Zalagh City Center for a central Fez stay with a pool and plenty of dining on site. The listing gives en suite, air-conditioned rooms with private balconies, gardens with an outdoor pool, a hammam and a beauty salon. Dining covers Moroccan, international and pizza restaurants, plus a bar and a nightclub. It lists the airport 15 km away, so I would plan the transfer. A four-star hotel rated 8.5 from 282 reviews.

Palais Ommeyad puts families inside the old medina of Fes, in a traditional palace converted into a riad, yet it still has an outdoor swimming pool, a relief for children after the lanes. Suites are air-conditioned, with satellite TV and a separate seating area that gives a family more room, and some look over the pool. Parents can book body treatments at the spa or use the jacuzzi. The terrace adds outdoor space.

Across Hotels & Spa is a four-star hotel in Fez with air-conditioned family rooms, private bathrooms and balconies. It has a pool, a spa and a hammam, a restaurant, a bar and a garden, and free WiFi and private parking are included. It is near the train station and close to major attractions, which helps families who arrive by rail. Guests rate it 8.4 out of 10 across 199 reviews.

Nour Plazza Hotel is a four-star hotel in Fez with air-conditioned family rooms, private bathrooms and balconies. Its rooftop swimming pool, sun terrace and fitness centre give families somewhere to rest between visits, and the spa has a hammam and massage services. The restaurant serves French, Italian, Moroccan and international dishes. Guests rate it 8.2 out of 10 across 385 reviews.

Hotel Batha is a traditional three-star hotel about a 10-minute walk from the Fès medina, close enough to walk in and out with children. Its pool is the main reason to pick it with a family, a break between two visits in the old town. Rooms are air-conditioned with an en suite bathroom, a balcony and satellite TV. The restaurant serves local dishes, and there is a coffee shop and a Moroccan-style lounge. Guests rate it 8.2 out of 10 over 474 reviews.

Families pick the Jnan Palace over a medina riad for one reason: an outdoor pool with room around it, in gardens where children can run, instead of a decorative patio basin and steep stairs. The pool is mixed and modest swimwear is accepted, which suits families who prefer to cover up. Rooms have balconies, and the wide pavements of the Ville Nouvelle are easier with a pushchair than the lanes of Fès el-Bali. No kids' club is advertised, so the days are yours to plan. The drawback is distance: every visit to the tanneries or the Bou Inania madrasa begins with a taxi of about ten minutes. Know too that Morocco World News reported in September 2025 a slide at the hotel: tired rooms in need of maintenance, uneven housekeeping and restaurants that have not kept pace, despite the new lobby. I would recommend it to families with young children who see the medina in half-day trips; teenagers keen on the souks in the evening will find the back and forth frustrating.

Les Mérinides is a five-star hotel on a hill above Fez, with a terrace and swimming pool and a view over the Medina. Air-conditioned rooms are decorated with quality materials and have free Wi-Fi. Three restaurants, one of them Moroccan with Medina views, mean families can eat on site without leaving the hill, and the hotel can organise a shuttle service. Guests rate it 8.1 out of 10 across 421 reviews.
