(MENAFN- Muscat Daily) Muscat- Designed with a variety of local influences, the modern urban resort Kempinski Hotel Muscat has opened its doors to guests from around the world as well as the surrounding community.
Encompassing over 6km of stunning coastline within Al Mouj community, this unparalleled luxury destination blends traditional Omani hospitality with the timeless European elegance of Kempinski. With 310 rooms and suites, state-of-the-art meeting facilities, ten world-class restaurants and bars, a fully equipped health club and an authentic spa experience, Kempinski Hotel Muscat is a gateway to an authentic Omani adventure, a press release stated.
'Being the latest hotel addition in the heart of new Muscat, it gives me great pleasure to introduce this hotel to our discerning guests, who are eager to experience the remarkable European flair of Kempinski and join us on this journey,' said Carsten Weigandt, GM of Kempinski Hotel Muscat.
Designed by Woods Bagot, Kempinski Hotel Muscat is a modern interpretation of Muscat and the Sultanate of Oman, with standout elements that are truly Omani in nature. The hotel's buildings, with a façade inspired by the landscape of Old Muscat - such as the Muttrah Corniche - are a matrix of building structures, outlining what was once a commercial centre.
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 bin Said.
The prominent location of the ballroom - wherein the Muscat Ballroom is situated - establishes a strong first impression, with an architectural design inspired by Arabic lanterns, illuminated in the evening to reinforce the hotel as a landmark in the Al Mouj community.
'The opening in Muscat is part of the overall Middle Eastern growth strategy of Kempinski Hotels of luxurious properties in key destinations including full service resort and leisure destinations,' said Henk Meyknecht, chief operating officer, Middle East & Africa and member of the Kempinski Management Board.
Kempinski Hotel Muscat comes as a dining destination where guests can experience live interactive cuisines at The Kitchen Restaurant or choose to indulge in a delightful north Indian experience at Bukhara Restaurant. For light snacks and meals during the day, the Pool Bar team takes care of each guest's appetite, while relaxing and enjoying the sun. For fans of Thai street food, Soi Soi is the place to be - a lively restaurant reminiscent of Bangkok's bustling street-food scene.
For authentic Indian teas, Boulevard Tea House provides that and more in a cosy setting.
Fresh coffee, dainty desserts and pastries can be found at Café One, the hotel's deli. Amwaj Lounge, the hotel's luxury living room, sets the scene with a selection of French pastries and afternoon tea.
The 1,100sq m pillar-free ballroom can accommodate up to 700 guests and can be divided into three sections.
