Four Seasons Hotel Marrakech

Everyone goes to Marrakech expecting a little magic, and Four Seasons Resort Marrakech delivers. Guest rooms manage to be both modern and intricately Moorish at the same time, with their rich, spicy color palette of oranges and chocolate browns and generous floor plans that start at a whopping 452 square feet. (Each one is outfitted as if for Moroccan royalty, too, with marble-lined bathrooms and private balconies and patios that are perfect for sipping mint tea while listening to the desert birds chirp). For an especially fanciful experience, we love the Upper Pavilion Room, which has a 538 square foot floor plan and complete with an arched outdoor living room and panorama over the gardens below. If you’re traveling with a group, you can’t do much better than the Four Bedroom Royal Villa with a Private Pool—it sleeps 8 and includes a mirror-like al fresco pool and flickering fireplace in an interior salon. This being a Four Seasons, every luxury is at-the-ready for your stay no matter which room you pick—including down pillows, white robes, iPod docking stations, DVD players and a minibar.

A 40-acre compound dotted with ornate Moorish architecture, a garden-flanked outdoor quiet pool and boisterous family pool, hammam-stocked spa, tennis and three magical restaurants.

Just for grown-ups. Thanks to the Kids for All Seasons program, family offerings here include a kids and teens club, amenities for littles, teen movie nights and even optional babysitters for hire.

You love to feel pampered, and Four Seasons has perfected the art. Complimentary indulgences include evening turndown service, an in-the-know multilingual concierge, fitness classes, daily papers and zippy free WiFi.

After steaming and steeping in the spa’s mosaic-tiled hammam, you’re given a thoroughly Moroccan treatment: an Atlas Mountains clay body mask, followed by a tisane (tea) in the lush gardens. Aaaah.
