Why we recommend it
The Four Seasons Resort Marrakech sits in about 16 hectares of landscaped gardens in Hivernage, the leafy district between the medina and the Ville Nouvelle. The resort feels like a self-contained retreat while being only a short drive from the old city.
Accommodation ranges from pool-view terrace rooms and pavilion patio rooms to patio suites with private pools, two-bedroom villas with their own pools and a panoramic two-bedroom presidential suite with views towards the Menara Gardens. The range of suites and villas makes it a practical choice for longer stays and for families who need more space.
The pools are a major draw. There is an adults-only pool for quiet sunbathing and a family pool with cabanas and areas for children, so couples and families can each find their own space. The spa offers treatments inspired by Moroccan traditions, including hammam rituals and massage, and sports facilities include tennis and padel courts and a fitness centre. Several restaurants and bars cover everything from relaxed poolside meals to rooftop cocktails with views of the Atlas Mountains.
The resort is particularly well suited to families with children and to travellers who want resort comforts after days of sightseeing. It also works for a first visit to Morocco, as the transition from the calm gardens to the medina is easy to manage. Book ahead for the school holidays and the spring and autumn seasons, when the city is busiest.
The address is 1 Boulevard de la Menara. Marrakech Menara Airport is about 3.5 kilometres away, around fifteen minutes by car, and the hotel describes the city's main sights as roughly ten minutes' drive. The Menara Gardens are close by, Jemaa el-Fnaa and the Koutoubia can be reached by taxi in a few minutes, and the restaurants and nightlife of Hivernage, including Le Comptoir Darna, are within a short walk or ride. Hivernage is also home to several large hotels and a conference centre, so the streets around the resort are wide, well lit and easy to navigate by taxi. Guests who want to explore the medina independently can take a petit taxi to the Koutoubia and walk from there, returning to the calm of the gardens in the afternoon. Contact the resort directly to arrange airport transfers or private guides.
