Chedi Muscat - fresh from a
major makeover
Sixteen years after opening as
Oman’s most contemporary new
resort, The Chedi Muscat is emerging
from its most significant upgrade to
date with new suites and rooms with
expansive terraces.
The most grandiose gesture of the upgrade
is the 4-bedroom suite, a room category
demanded by the rising numbers of families and
groups eager for clustered accommodation. A
common living room anchors the suite’s four
twin-bedded rooms. Likewise, the resort now
offers a 2-bedroom suite.
The Chedi Muscat is set within 21 acres of palm
fringed gardens offering 162 guestrooms and
suites, six restaurants and two lounges with
great cuisines and wines of the world as well
as recreation activities that include 3 outdoor
pools, the 370-metre private beach, a spa and a
fully kitted gym.
Beyond the suites, the Chedi has borrowed
space from its gardens for the development of
terraces. Eight of the hotel’s Serai rooms now
sport private, outdoor accommodation, and are
now known as Serai Terrace Rooms. The Deluxe
Club Rooms also gained terraces, resulting in
Deluxe Club Terrace Rooms.
All of the hotel’s 160 rooms boast views of the
water gardens, the Hajar Mountains or the Gulf
of Oman. As part of the refurbishment, the
hotel breathed new life into its grounds with the
introduction of new palm trees.
Outside of the comforts and convenience of
the room, the hotel’s investment in kitchen and
dining equipment serve to further raise the bar
for dining at The Chedi Muscat’s award-winning
restaurants.
“Once again, the hotel feels as contemporary
as a hotel can be,” said Morton Johnston, the
hotel’s general manager.
In the Readers’ Choice Awards announced
recently by Condé Nast Traveler, The Chedi
Muscat was hailed as one of the Top 15 Hotels in
the Middle East, checking in at the no. 8 spot on
the prestigious list.
At the same time the hotel conducted its
own redevelopment, its neighbours ceased
construction of their residential buildings,
leaving the environs to a more fully mature
state of repose
