Where the majestic Al Hajar Mountains meet the waters of the Gulf of Oman, the Chedi Muscat rises amidst an elegantly landscaped twenty-one acre garden oasis.
Its central location close by the airport and just 30 minutes from the old town equally suits leisure and business travellers alike.
Part of the GHM Group and a member of the Leading Hotels of the World marketing group it was opened 12 years ago.
Opened in 2003, it is one of those rare hotels that is both inspired and inspiring. From its visually appealing design to the standards of management and service, this resort is a celebrated Omani icon.
Yet many guests, we are told, never leave the compound preferring to be pampered morning noon and night. Something the Chedi does very well indeed.
The style of the hotel melds contemporary interpretations of Asian designs and distinctive local touches to create inspired, memorable spaces.
Six distinct and differently themed restaurants, a thirteen-suite Balinese spa, three swimming pools, including the 103-metre Long Pool, 400-square metre health club plus executive meeting rooms.
