Location:
The Chedi Muscat is located on the beach and is ~15 minutes from the airport in Muscat, around 10 minutes from the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque and downtown Muscat, and ~30 minutes from Mutrah and Old Muscat. It was the perfect location for us to see the different areas we wanted to explore on this trip.
The Hotel:
I have so much appreciation for the clean lines and immaculate grounds at The Chedi. It is so incredibly serene that it is worth carving out a day in your itinerary to do absolutely nothing but lounge at this hotel. (And that's exactly what we did on our first day - it's my favorite way to soothe jet lag and get on local time!) The Chedi has not one, but TWO adult-only pools, and there is third pool for families as well. The food at the Long Pool, which is the longest pool in the Middle East, was our absolute favorite. Breakfast was amazing, and service was on point throughout our entire stay. It is worth mentioning that the beach area (sand, etc.) is not as naturally beautiful as some other areas of Muscat's coast, so if you are planning to spend a lot of time at the beach, this may not be the best hotel for you. The grounds were so well maintained, we were perfectly happy at the pools and in the many garden areas within the resort, which all had ocean views. Overall, we were very happy with our choice and would absolutely stay at The Chedi Muscat again.
The Room:
We opted for a club room, which included free airport transportation, breakfast, laundry service, and exclusive use of the club lounge for coffee, drinks, and canapes (which were delicious!!). We really enjoyed these perks and thought it was worth the extra cost. The rooms aren't the largest and many rooms do not have terraces, which is my one grievance for a hotel of this level, but the stunning grounds made up for it. Our room looked out over some of the hotel's serene water features, which were beautiful, and it was very quiet.
