The honest take
Book Four Seasons Marrakech if you want a full resort experience with three restaurants, a wellness centre, two tennis courts and 1,058 reviews backing up the 9.4 score, all for $851 a night. Book Amanjena if budget is not the question and what you want is the most architecturally distinct hotel in Marrakech, at $1,903 a night with a smaller, more curated guest base. The two sit 8km apart, Amanjena out past the palm groves on the Ouarzazate road, Four Seasons close in near Menara Gardens, so Four Seasons is the better base for repeated trips into the medina. Amanjena is the pricier choice, has the higher guest rating, and offers golf that Four Seasons lacks; Four Seasons counters with a hot tub.
The look and the feel
Amanjena Resort
Amanjena is Ed Tuttle's pink-ochre vision for Aman, built around a vast still reflecting pool and a cluster of domed pavilions that read as much Moorish palace as private riad. Rooms are cool, dim, high-ceilinged boxes of tadelakt plaster and dark wood, with plunge pools on private terraces, so the sense is of retreat rather than hotel. The main pool pavilion has that particular Aman silence, water reflecting light onto vaulted ceilings, staff appearing and vanishing without a sound. It draws a quiet, older, often repeat-Aman crowd who want to be left alone in beautiful surroundings, golf included.
Amanjena suits couples or solo travellers seeking total seclusion and are happy paying for the smallest, most design-led property on offer.
Four Seasons Resort Marrakech
Four Seasons Marrakech sits in manicured gardens near Menara, a big modern resort built in a loose Moorish idiom, all keyhole arches, carved plaster and orange trees around a large central pool. It is less intimate than Amanjena by design, three restaurants covering Andalusian, Moroccan and Italian menus, a proper wellness centre with steam room and hot tub, two tennis courts, the whole apparatus of a large luxury property built to run smoothly for hundreds of guests at once rather than a handful. The public rooms are grand and lantern-lit but built for volume, not hush, and the crowd is a broader mix of families, groups and business travellers.
Four Seasons suits families, groups and anyone wanting a full-service resort with variety in dining and wellness at a markedly lower price.
At under half Amanjena's rate, Four Seasons gives up golf and the intense architectural intimacy of Amanjena's pavilions, trading them for three restaurants, a bigger wellness offering and a hot tub, plus far more scale and staff to match.
Amanjena is the more beautiful place to simply sit in, its Tuttle-designed pools and pavilions doing more with silence and shadow than Four Seasons' larger, busier grounds attempt.

pricey for the quality
not warmly welcomed
“The employees aren’t competent , very pricey for the quality you get , I will never come back .”
Amanjena's guests come away happier, praising the warm welcome and peaceful atmosphere, while Four Seasons reviews cite incompetent staff and poor value for the price.
A hotel with excellent communication from start to finish. The warm welcomes and their great attention, along with the calm and peaceful atmosphere, truly make it clearly the best hotel in Marrakech.
The massage could be better, and the shampoo and conditioner/shower gel in the room were very bad.
