- Two gorgeous pools, including one for adults only

- Free one-way shuttle rides to the city (during set hours)
- Free bottled water and fresh towels upon arrival
- Free (somewhat slow) Wi-Fi (faster service is available for a fee)
- Stylish Young Adult Center with gaming stations, foosball, and a media room
Cons
- The hotel is not walking distance to the Medina
- The hotel's contemporary design lacks authentic Moroccan style
- Breakfast can become crowded during prime hours
- The resort is spread out and requires a lot of walking
- Rooms on lower floors lack natural light
- Rooms with connecting doors are not completely soundproof

Bottom Line
The Four Seasons Marrakech is a sprawling 141-room luxury resort with two pools, a modern spa, and quick taxi access to the Medina and Souks. The hotel features chic, contemporary style and a neutral color palette, although this may disappoint those craving the rich colors and textures associated with the Red City. The hotel's low-key vibe is attractive to travelers, families, and brand loyalists who crave the pampered, secluded compound-like atmosphere that's still within reach (it not walking distance) of the city's attractions.

Scene
A serene and luxurious walled-compound style resort with extensive grounds and a variety of amenities that cater equally to families and couples
Luxurious and low-key, the Four Season's Marrakech skirts the traditional style of richly colored and patterned furnishings found in Marrakech and instead mixes subtle nuances of the city's history with a sophisticated, contemporary design that is consistent with the hotel brand. The overall look, created by Hill Glazier Architects, mimics a Moorish palace surrounded by pavilions. Stretches of reflecting pools, lush gardens with palm and olive trees, and two swimming pools are neatly arranged throughout the 40-acre property with guest rooms accessed via arcades, courtyards, and stairways intended to evoke the design of a traditional riad.
The hotel attracts a variety of travelers and they all can find their place at the resort; there is a pool strictly dedicated for adults who seek quiet and another for more active families with children. Specific programs and centers are dedicated to keeping kids and young adults busy while parents and couples find time to relax in myriad adult spaces, including a spa.
Location
In a secluded area that's undergoing resort development, a short drive to the Medina
Set on 41 acres of private compound-like property, the resort is located in a secluded area with ongoing resort development. It is across the street from the Menara Gardens and a quick ride to the Medina and Souks. There's not much within walking distance, though, so this location isn't ideal for those who were hoping to be immersed in the city's culture. It's well-suited for those who prefer a more traditional resort experience away from the crowds of the Medina.
- 10-minute walk to the Menara Gardens
- Eight-minute drive to El Badi Palace
- Nine-minute drive to Medina
- 10-minute drive to the Marrakech Menara Airport
- 10-minute drive to Magorelle Garden
- 16-minute drive to the Royal Golf Club
- 45-minute drive to Ourika Valley
- 3-hour drive to Agadir
- 4-hour drive to the Saharan Desert
Rooms
Luxurious guest rooms and suites with contemporary Moroccan style, private terraces, and views of the Atlas Mountains
The Four Seasons Marrakech offers 141 rooms (including 27 suites) all with private terraces set within low-rise buildings surrounded by olive and palm trees. There are four categories of guest rooms. The largest (538 square feet) Pavilion rooms are located on the lower floors with some offering direct access to the pool, but they lack natural light. Other guest room categories offer views of the resort or full or partial views of the Atlas Mountains and the Menara Gardens. Suites range in size from 602-square-foot one-bedroom units to a palatial four-bedroom villa with a private walled terrace with pool and whirlpool.
The rooms are finished in contemporary style with serene color palettes brightened by punches of bright orange fabric, bold artwork, and handcrafted Moroccan woodwork and Zelige tiling. Luxury accouterments such as twice-daily housekeeping, thick terry robes, and the latest technology are standard. Bathrooms are finished with marble, deep soaking tubs, separate glass-walled showers, and plenty of thick towels and a selection of Damana bath products.

Three restaurants, a spa, and dedicated activity centers for teens and children
