Muscat: Gulf Hotel (Oman) Company Limited has announced the reopening of Crowne Plaza Muscat on September 1, welcoming guests with a new look after a successful 100-day renovation.
Commenting on behalf of Gulf Hotel (Oman) Board of Directors, Hannah Macki said, “We are thrilled for our guests to experience a uniquely new Crowne Plaza Muscat that still carries the traditional hospitality we are known for. This could not have been possible without the support of our partners Douglas OHI, design consultants Hoehler + alSalmy and the hotel operator.
Their hard work was instrumental in successfully completing the renovation on time and to the highest standards.”
Working in partnership with Douglas OHI, a leading provider of construction services in the Sultanate, and design consultants Hoehler + alSalmy, the project was completed on time and on budget. The fast-tracked renovation was part of the hotel’s commitment to enhance guest experiences and much of the hotel facilities. An elegant seaside resort in Oman’s thriving capital,
Crowne Plaza Muscat now includes a completely remodeled lobby, lounge, porte cochère and arrival area. Guests can also now relax at the newly built double deck infinity pool or enjoy a meal overlooking the sea in the suspended restaurant, the Edge. The all-day dining restaurant and pool bar have also been revamped.

To successfully complete the design and supervision of the project in such a short period of time is an achievement in itself of which we are delighted and thank all parties involved for enabling us to deliver the project as per the set schedule.”
Aaron Hennessy, General Manager, Douglas OHI said “Working on this iconic property was both exciting and rewarding for our team, and represented an opportunity for us to bring a positive approach to construction and design solutions. We were able to pull from our breadth and depth of hospitality experience to bring strategic solutions to several aspects of the planning process.
