12 Days of Travel: Four Seasons Marrakech

Setting off from an off-piste weekend in the Swiss Alps, it’s time to warm up and head to the Western Sahara to the Four Seasons Marrakech. One of the finest hotels in Africa, this hotel is located close to La Menara Gardens and only a short ride from the airport in the eastern portion of the city. After a long day of negotiating with the vendors at the djemaa el fna (news flash, they have been doing this for a very long time, so be prepared to haggle) you’ll enjoy the stately rooms appointed with fine Egyptian linens and an outdoor pool. It may not be a conventional Christmas, but it will definitely be one to remember.
