I recommend Four Seasons Resort Marrakech to my clients looking for a relaxing hideaway in the heart of the hustle and bustle of the Marrakech markets. It is the ideal location to cool off with a dip in the pool after a morning exploring the colorful city. The 40-acre gardens are absolutely gorgeous for a day by the pool or a shady afternoon nap. The perfect base for your next trip to North Africa, the Four Seasons will be at the heart of your adventure.
