Hotels often have the biggest pools, and sometimes an indoor pool in the spa as well. Around Fez, warm water sometimes comes from the ground: the hot springs of Moulay Yacoub are about twenty kilometres away. For now, only one place of this type meets my criteria in Fez: Vichy Thermalia Spa Hôtel.
Each city has its own selection, with a page for each type of accommodation.
Places are ranked from highest to lowest rated. The yellow bubble shows the advertised water temperature, when it's known.

The pool. Heated pool and two covered pools, one of them women-only. Closed every year from 6 May to 4 June.
One guest reports the pool was under maintenance during their stay.
Guide's tip. Check the pool will be open on your dates.
These places don't have a confirmed heated pool, but they do have a hot tub: the water is hot all year round. A good way to relax in the warm.
These places were suggested to us directly by their owners. The heated pool is declared by them; they don't yet have enough guest reviews to join the selection.
In my selection, the only place selected is Vichy Thermalia Spa Hôtel (Hotel), with 8.6/10 (205 reviews · TripAdvisor (4,3/5)).
None of the places selected in Fez clearly advertises a pool heated all year round. Either way, ask for the heating dates before you book.
None of the places selected in Fez gives a precise temperature. Ask the property before booking, especially out of season.
The word "heated" on a booking page isn't enough. Every place must have a rating of at least 8/10 (or 4/5) and carries one of these four levels.
Guests mention the heated water in their reviews, with the season when they say so.
A journalist or guide who stayed there describes the heated pool.
The hotel or the platform says so, but I haven't yet found a review that confirms it.
Heating isn't specified, but the water is sheltered from the wind and cold air. Ask for the temperature before you book.
I left these out because guests report water colder than advertised, or because no heating or indoor pool is mentioned.
