This one is a beaut—milk-white lobby gridded with pillars reminiscent of Al Alam Palace; a design theme that inspires adjectives like ‘chic’ and ‘classy’; a pristine beach with an infinity pool and people lounging in bliss; restaurants and bars aplenty to spoil you with the choicest of choices; and enough things for you and your children to do. The Kempinski Hotel Muscat in the Al Mouj area of Oman’s capital, with its 310 rooms and suites, depicts the city at its best. It borrows many elements from the culture of this friendly Middle Eastern country, especially with regard to décor, colours and penchant for frankincense, and tops it with the
first-rate facilities and service standards of a typical Kempinski hotel. Add four themed restaurants and six themed bars and lounges, a platter of meeting and venue rooms, an adorable kids’ club and easy transfers to all of Muscat’s heritage and urban gems to the mix and you have the perfect gateway to the country.
