The Mandarin Oriental in Muscat, Oman, sets a new standard for luxury hospitality. The interior design blends modern elegance with Oman's rich cultural heritage, creating a sophisticated yet inviting atmosphere. Guests are welcomed through grand Omani wooden doors into a lobby where tradition meets artistry. Three central fountains pay homage to the influences of the Middle East, Africa, and Asia, while a colored crystal chandelier illuminates the space.
The 103 rooms and 47 suites are designed using local materials like Desert Rose marble and ash wood, with handmade objects celebrating Omani craftsmanship. From headboards inspired by the traditional kuma to brass lanterns reflecting the iconic kandjar, every detail honors local culture. This project combines Omani hospitality with contemporary luxury, offering an immersive experience of the country's beauty and heritage
