These are 44.6km apart and quite different trips: Kasbah Tamadot sits in the Atlas foothills at Asni, Four Seasons is in Marrakech proper near Menara Gardens. Four Seasons is cheaper at $851 against $1,491, has more than fifty times the review volume behind its 9.4 rating, and includes a hot tub and pet allowance that Kasbah Tamadot's listing doesn't mention. Kasbah Tamadot scores higher (9.8) but on only 18 reviews, and you pay a real premium for its remoteness and Richard Branson pedigree. Book Kasbah Tamadot for the mountains and privacy, Four Seasons for the city, the gardens, and a lower bill.
Kasbah Tamadot began as a Berber chief's kasbah before Richard Branson bought and expanded it, and it keeps that vernacular weight: pisé-style walls, carved cedar doors, tadelakt plaster in ochre and rose, tented rooms scattered through the grounds against the wall of the High Atlas. The main house has open fires, kilims, low brass tables, the kind of eclectic maximalism that comes from decades of collecting rather than a single designer's brief. Two restaurants, indoor and outdoor pools, a spa in what feels like a converted hammam wing, and a tennis court cut into the terraced garden. It draws people who want to disappear for a few days, not stroll a medina.
Kasbah Tamadot suits travellers who want mountain scenery, privacy and a lived-in, collected sense of place, cost aside.
Four Seasons Marrakech sits behind high walls near the Menara Gardens, a big low-slung resort built in a modern Moroccan idiom: zellige tilework, carved plaster cornices, dark wood screens, all done with the smooth, replicable polish the chain is known for rather than the patina of an old house. Three restaurants cover Andalusian, Moroccan and South Italian ground, there's a steam bath and hot tub alongside the wellness centre, two tennis courts and a business centre for anyone still working. The public rooms are cool, high-ceilinged, easy to move through - a hotel built for volume and consistency, and it shows in the review count.
Four Seasons suits anyone wanting a reliable, well-serviced Marrakech base close to the gardens, at a friendlier price.
At $851 against $1,491, Four Seasons is the cheaper stay and still adds a hot tub and pet allowance Kasbah Tamadot's listing doesn't offer; what you give up is the remote Atlas setting and the sense of a singular, personally assembled property.
Kasbah Tamadot is the more beautiful and characterful place to actually be, because its rooms and grounds carry the texture of a real building with a history rather than a well-run template.

“On est pas très bien accueilli”
Kasbah Tamadot's guests come away far happier, repeatedly praising attentive staff and a peaceful setting, while Four Seasons reviewers cite poor welcomes and incompetent staff for the price.
Wow, what an absolutely fabulous place! It’s exactly what we hoped for - peace and tranquility. The staff are superb and cannot do enough for you. The most instagram worthy place I have ever been to! Of note for those planning a trip, we stayed in the ‘low season’ (I.e. July/August). The hotel was only 20-30% full which made the stay feel even more intimate. We guess people are put off by the temperatures in Marr
“Best stay of our life. ”
I’ve traveled the world nonstop for 45 years — a new country every month — and *Kasbah Tamadot* is hands down my favorite hotel of all time. From the tea to the perfect pool temperature, everything is done with care. The atmosphere is magical, peaceful, and stunning. But the real standout is the *service* — they truly care. You’re not just another guest here. Unforgettable in every way.
We love our stay, fabulous staff. Don’t forget to have a tea in the courtyard with Muhammed.
