Four Seasons Resort Marrakech
Marrakesh, Morocco
Hivernage
Vibe
Low-slung terracotta pavilions and tranquil Moorish gardens frame snow-capped Atlas Mountain peaks across forty palm-filled acres.
“Moorish garden retreat”
Staff arrange bespoke High Atlas mountain hikes, vintage sidecar tours, and attentive poolside service across the estate.
Forty landscaped acres featuring clay tennis courts, separate adults and family pools, and a dedicated teen center.
Dual hydrotherapy zones feature traditional Moroccan hammams, cold plunge pools, and signature argan-oil and rhassoul bodywork.
In Hivernage opposite the Menara Gardens, ten minutes from the airport and close to the medina.
“The resort complex consists of pink-toned pavilions that are low enough that you’ll never miss the sweeping vistas of the snowy Atlas Mountains.”
Rooms
Every room opens onto a private terrace or balcony, styled with filigree lighting, mashrabiya patterns, and Swiss marble bathrooms.
“the stunning, tranquil, haven-like ambience—the landscaping, the planting, the architecture—belies the fact that it’s on the edge of such a frenetic city”
Wellness
Separate hydrotherapy zones offer saunas, steam rooms, and outdoor plunge pools, alongside a dedicated sound-healing room and Moroccan garden hammams.
“this 40-acre urban resort perfectly marries historic details with cosmopolitan style. Surrounded by views of the Atlas Mountains, it features a collection of low-slung buildings, set around Moorish-style gardens”
Backstory
Opened in 2011, the resort occupies an ancient olive and orange grove dating to the medieval Almoravid and Almohad eras.
Eat & drink
Dine on Southern Italian plates by the fountain at Quattro, sip mint tea at Inara, or catch sunset DJ sets at Zest.
The neighborhood
Set along Avenue de la Menara in Hivernage, the resort sits directly opposite the historic Menara Gardens, minutes from the ancient medina.

The app
This is one hotel. The app has every one we rate, in your pocket, for the whole trip.
Our shorthand
What makes a hotel special, how well they pull it off, and what it feels like outside the door.
How well they pull it off
Extremely rare. Sets the global standard.
Brilliant execution. And we’re picky.
They did this well. You’ll notice.
A defining trait. Makes the hotel what it is.
The eight vibes
Architecture and interiors lead. There’s a creative vision at work.
The guest is conspicuously well cared for. Requests met before they’re made.
Rooted in place. Local character runs through the whole stay.
Energy and scene. Where the city goes out, whether or not it’s sleeping here.
A building with history. The story of the place is part of the stay.
Built around feeling better. Rest, sweat, soak, spa.
A hotel the city grew up with. Same rituals, same regulars.
A world of its own. No reason to leave the property.
Scene — what’s outside the door
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
A place apart: the property is the destination.
