The Four Seasons Marrakech is an incredibly special place to visit because it provides an oasis in the center of the hustle and bustle of the Marrakech souks. As a city made up of red and brown buildings filled with heady scents and unique sights, the hotel is a garden sanctuary in the heart of Marrakech. The Four Seasons is situated between the medina and the cosmopolitan neighborhood of Ville Nouvelle. The Moorish gardens are full of spots to relax, sit by the pool or visit the spa. There are three restaurants to choose from offering Moroccan, Turkish, Lebanese and Italian cuisines.

From the red hues of the Atlas Mountains, the browns of the tanneries in Fes or the beautiful blues of Chefchaouen, there are so many hidden treasures to explore. Discover the heady markets of the old cities or relax by a beautiful pool and visit a hammam or go for a hike - Morocco offers something for everyone.

New Orleans has what some call the most unique and distinctive cuisine in the United States. The rich history of this port city with its connection to seafood, has been a strong influence on the cuisine and the people. The unique and district Cajun flavors have developed from a strong French influence but also Creole, Italian, Spanish and German traditions. While this fair leans rustic, the flavors are complex and the dishes require technique to master. The Big Easy’s food scene feeds the soul as well as the stomach.

New Orleans is a vibrant port city with a dynamic blend of cultural influences. A city with many sections, you can explore historical sites, taste local cuisine, learn the history of voodoo and watch ships transit the Mississippi River. The locals are friendly and always ready to point you to the closest jazz bar or beignet stand. New Orleans belongs on every traveler's bucket list for the chance to learn why we call it the Big Easy.
