Hotel giant Four Seasons has confirmed that its Four Seasons Hotel Marrakech property in Morocco will open on 15 June 2011.

Blu Spas has been working with architect Didier Lefort of DL2A Paris and the UK-based GA Design on interiors on the 140-bedroom hotel.

Facilities at the hotel will include a spa with 17 treatment rooms. The main pavilion offers 15 treatment rooms for massages, facials and body treatments, plus a salon and whirlpool.

A second building is reached by its own discreet entrance, and houses two luxurious VIP spa suites - including a couples room - as well as a modern interpretation of the traditional hammam.

There are also private relaxation gardens, men's and women's wet areas as well as saunas, whirlpools and gardens.

Four Seasons has invested around US$15m (11m euro, £9m) in building the spa.

Nestled in the Menara Gardens in the west of Marrakech, the property will also feature 40 ryads and villas.

Construction work first began in 2005 and the property is being developed by Kingdom Hotel Investments in partnership with the European Hotel Corporation (EHC) and Alliances Development Immobilier.
