Posljedice ciklona Gonu uspješno su sanirane /<br />

The consequences of cyclone Gonu heve been<br />

succesfully removed<br />

Hotel je smješten na nadasve mirnoj lokaciji / The hotel<br />

is positioned on a remarkably peaceful location<br />

Tourists that recently visited Oman say that the<br />

coast of that Arabic country on the verge of the<br />

Persian Gulf, especially the area around the ancient<br />

capital Muscat (Masqat), is completely submitted<br />

to tourism construction, which means that it has<br />

been devastated. Trench-diggers on the destructed<br />

beaches may be preparing the new, more advanced<br />

visual version of the attractive destination, but that<br />

certainly doesn’t look impressive at this very moment,<br />

especially in a location like the ambient context of The<br />

Chedi Muscat Hotel, one of the branches of the famous<br />

chain Chedi.<br />

Muscat itself is one of the oldest cities in the Middle East,<br />

and it has experienced one of the strongest cyclonic<br />

winds over the last 60 years in the middle of last year.<br />

Cyclone Gonu has rampaged the region and caused<br />

the evacuation of dozens of thousands of Oman people,<br />

especially in the area around Muscat. The consequences<br />

of that disaster, however, have been successfully<br />

removed and no tourists that found themselves on<br />

vacation at The Chedi Muscat, even if it was shortly<br />

after it, have felt any side effects from the moment of<br />

landing into the near-by airport until the end of their<br />

Starinsko, drevno, mirno koegzistira s novim i modernim<br />

/ The archaic and ancient peacefully co-exists<br />

with the new and modern<br />

stay in Oman. The hotel guests are greeted in an organized<br />

way after the landing and, after they’re offered<br />

some food and drinks, are taken to the hotel.<br />

The Chedi Muscat’s location has been carefully considered<br />

and positioned on a picturesque, narrow area<br />

below a monumental natural curtain – enormous<br />

mountain slopes, which are in direct communication<br />

with the mild surface of the Indian Ocean. With all that<br />

grandeur of natural elements that surround it, the hotel<br />

is positioned on a remarkably peaceful location that,<br />

even though it lies on a part of the airline route, is not<br />

overly exposed to noise since Oman generally isn’t particularly<br />

active in the traffic sense. One way or another,<br />

the local airport, which is fifteen minutes away, does<br />

nothing to disturb the peace and quiet of this very<br />

praised five-star hotel.<br />

The idea of The Chedi Muscat’s designers has been<br />

in touch with the rhythm of the entire area, as well as<br />

the City of Muscat itself, which manages to have the<br />

archaic and ancient peacefully co-existing with the<br />

new and modern. “Old forms in a new way” was the<br />

guiding light of the two authors of the hotel’s identity –<br />

Jean-Michel Gathy, director of Denniston International<br />
