Oman’s approach to tourism is quite different from its neighbours, with the country favouring smaller but equally successful tourism projects.
As Transfer“Unlike the UAE and Saudi Arabia, Oman has largely refrained from stimulating tourism through mega-projects and large hotels. Instead, the country has focused on its cultural heritage sector to boost tourism, as well as its natural environment,” said the travel industry market research platform.

The new Mandarin Oriental, Muscat fits in with this philosophy, with the hotel’s design inspired by the Gulf and Parisian architecture firm Xavier Cartron, and inspired by Oman’s natural beauty.
From walking through the majestic Omani wooden doors to the three fountains and colorful chandeliers in the lobby to the clever use of local natural materials in the 103 rooms and 47 suites, this “urban resort” in Muscat’s Shatti Al-Qurum neighborhood pays homage to the local area.

The five restaurants and lounges are exquisite, while the Spa at Mandarin Oriental, Muscat combines Mandarin Oriental’s award-winning treatments with sea views and a traditional Turkish bath.
In addition to the 30-meter outdoor pool, there is also a children’s pool and play area nearby, as well as a kids’ club.
That’s not all Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group has planned. The Hong Kong-based hotel group has opened its second much-anticipated property in London. Of its 40 high-end hotels, only in its home country does it have another dual footprint. Mandarin Oriental Mayfair is much more low-key than its sister property in Knightsbridge, Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park, which is housed in a gorgeous and iconic, nearly 120-year-old Edwardian building.
