Aloft Hotels, the innovative brand for music enthusiasts and tech-savvy travellers and a part of Marriott International’s extraordinary portfolio of 30 hotel brands, is set to open its debut property in Oman this Spring.

Designed for the next generation travellers, Aloft Muscat will be a new vibrant destination featuring eclectic spaces, distinctive design, live music programming, and 199 modern loft-style guestrooms complete with the brand’s signature amenities.

The hotel is expected to feature three dining outlets, places for guests to come together, including a Californian style eatery, an international restaurant with a Mediterranean twist, and the brand’s signature bar W XYZ. Other facilities will include a rooftop pool and gym, it stated.

Danny Al Chayeb will take over as the new hotel's general manager. With more than two decades in hospitality across the Mena region, Al Chayeb brings a wealth of experience to Aloft Muscat, including a proven track record of creating new food and beverage concepts and providing the highest guest service standards.

A hands-on GM, he aims to turn moments into memorable stays for guests, with a desire to lead by example while driving business.

"We are thrilled to debut Aloft Hotels in Oman. A brand known for its design-driven and tech-savvy ethos, Aloft Muscat will bring a modern, friendly, and comfortable option for global travelers and a new hotspot for residents in the Sultanate," remarked Al Chayeb.

Aloft Hotels currently encompasses over 220 hotels in 29 countries and territories. The Muscat property is just 10 minutes drive from Muscat International Airport.

Strategically located, it is in close vicinity to the city’s attractions such as Royal Opera House Muscat, Mall of Oman, Sultan Qaboos Sports Complex and three major golf courses, he added.
