Designed by Woods Bagot, Kempinski Hotel Muscat is a modern interpretation of the country, with stand-out elements that are truly Omani in nature.
The façade of the hotel’s buildings is inspired by the landscape of Old Muscat, while the design of the lobby originates from the nature of lilies in a pond, and is inspired by the Al Alam Palace, the ceremonial palace of His Majesty Sultan Qaboos.
In terms of F&B, guests can enjoy live interactive cuisines at The Kitchen Restaurant or choose to indulge in a Northern Indian experience at Bukhara Restaurant. For fans of Thai food, Soi Soi is a lively restaurant reminiscent of Bangkok’s bustling street-food scene, while Amwaj Lounge – the hotel’s luxury living room – serves up a selection of French pastries and afternoon tea.
Cigar aficionados can unwind in the opulent 1897 Cigar Lounge & Bar, and Zale – the hotel’s beach club and lounge – marks an exciting addition to Muscat’s nightlife scene.
