|
| Oman's first contemporary hotel, the 151-room Chedi opened in January 2003 in a spectacular seafront location against a backdrop of desert and mountain. It combines traditional Middle Eastern architecture (reflecting pools, fountain courtyards) with
Far Eastern-influenced minimalism (open-plan bathrooms, black stone floors).

X FACTOR
The successful fusion
of the contemporary and the exotic. Cloisters, archways and clusters of low-hanging lanterns combine with tranquil bedrooms decorated in muted desert shades.

FACILITES
There is also an excellent spa, tennis courts, family and adults-only pools.
