About The Chedi Muscat
- Before designing anything, Jean-Michel Gathy spent two weeks touring Oman's forts, villages, and deserts with a colleague, measuring traditional proportions that shaped the resort's architecture.
- It has long been the only hotel in Oman that belongs to The Leading Hotels of the World.
- Hotelier Middle East named Gathy one of the region's most influential figures partly on the strength of this hotel, quoting one architect who called it 'a breath of fresh air' unlike anything else in the Gulf.
- Beyond its six restaurants, the resort has a 700-square-meter health club and two floodlit tennis courts.
- Entry-level rooms start at 355 sq ft (33 m²).
