El-Jamai Palace, 19th-century palace in Fez, Morocco
The El-Jamai Palace features ornate stucco carvings, zellij mosaic tilework, and Andalusian gardens with traditional fountains near the Bab Guissa gate.
Built in 1879 by Grand Vizier Muhammad Ibn al-'Arabi al-Jāmi'i during Sultan Moulay Hassan's reign, the palace later transformed into a hotel in 1919.
The palace displays traditional Moroccan architectural elements, including detailed geometric patterns, handcrafted woodwork, and decorative metalwork throughout its interior spaces.
The property closed in 2014 and underwent extensive renovations to create 31 suites and 60 rooms, with completion expected by 2023.
Located within the medieval ramparts, the palace offers direct views over the labyrinthine streets of the Medina where craftsmen maintain their workshops.
