Contemporary Elegance In Morocco’s Most Cosmopolitan City
With a view toward the modern, Four Seasons Resort And Residences Marrakech offers totally different hotel experience from other properties in the city. Located on an estate of 40 hectares in the Ville Nouvelle, the fabulous Four Seasons Marrakech opened to great acclaim last year as the company’s first foray into Morocco. As one of the most prestigious hotel brands in the world, Four Seasons’ vast experience in luxury accommodation was well applied in Marrakech, where large rooms and suites match the ample grounds in spaciousness. Beyond the accommodation options in the main building are pavilion suites, some with pools, where guests can enjoy the Moroccan sunshine with the highest degree of privacy.
Sitting across the street from the Menara Garden close to the modern district of Guéliz, Four Seasons Marrakech is a convenient location for exploring the modern side of Marrakech, though the hotel offers a complimentary shuttle each evening for guests wanting to take in the spectacle of Jamaa El Fna, designated by UNESCO as a Masterpiece of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity. The grounds of Four Seasons Marrakech, however, offer enough entertainment to last an entire stay. With splendid Italian food at Bleu d’Orange, two swimming pools (one for everyone, the other for adults only), two tennis courts, a kids’ centre, a teenagers’ retreat (from their parents), and a unique knowledge centre where various cultural aspects of Morocco are displayed and explained, there are ample diversions for any interest. While on the Four Seasons premises, enjoy a Moroccan treatment at the spa pavilion, where rose petals are rubbed on the body as part of the Plants Of Paradise treatment, one of the Four Seasons’ indulgent Ritual Journeys.
When the unfortunate day of departure arrives, Four Seasons reduces the separation anxiety by providing a VIP departure service which sees guests enjoy priority check-in regardless of airline as well as access to a private lounge, though the most impressive aspect of the service has to be the bypassing of queues at Immigration for immediate processing. A similar VIP welcome service exists in reverse for arrival.
