Minor has signed a Tivoli hotel in Muscat, Oman.
The 180-key Tivoli
Muscat Hotel & Residences will begin development in the Omani
capital later this year, with the property slated to open in
2026.
The new-build property will be located in La Vie,
Muscat Hills, a prominent mixed use community located within a 10-minute drive of Muscat
International Airport (MCT).
Featuring an 80-key hotel and 100 branded
residences, the mixed-use development will overlook the re-opened
18-hole golf course managed by Troon Golf which also includes a TopTracer
driving range, the fourth in the region and first in Oman.
The new Oman Convention & Exhibition Centre, Oman Automobile
Association and several Ministries are also located close by.
In addition to multiple accommodation options,
facilities at the new hotel will include a swimming pool and gym,
an Anantara spa, a ballroom and four meeting rooms.
The property
will also offer multiple dining options, including a rooftop bar
and restaurant, a lobby lounge café, a sports bar and an all-day
dining restaurant.
The Tivoli Muscat and master project La Vie are being
developed by Oman Real Estate Investment Services (ORIS), the
real estate arm of Oman International Development and Investment
Company SAOG (OMINVEST), an Oman-based company founded in 1983 and
listed on the Muscat Stock Exchange since 1998. OMINVEST is one of
the region’s largest investment companies with over US$1.8 billion
of total assets.
Nasser Rashid Al Shibli, Chief Real Estate
Officer, OMINVEST, said, “ORIS aims to develop iconic
projects in Oman and has a proven track record of delivering good
quality projects, effectively and efficiently , we expect nothing
less with the LA VIE project. As the name suggests, translating to
“The Life”, we want to bring a blast of zest and style to Muscat
through this mixed-use development and we are looking forward to
working with Minor Hotels to create a striking property.”
In the Middle East, Minor
Hotels currently operates three Tivoli properties in Qatar, with a
further new-build property under development in Bahrain to launch
in 2024.
In addition, the brand made its Asia debut in 2022 with
the launch of Tivoli Chengdu at Cultural Heritage Park in China
and is expanding its footprint in Europe this year adding
properties in Netherlands, Portugal and Tenerife.
“We are thrilled to announce this exciting future
addition to the Tivoli portfolio and the brand’s upcoming debut in
Oman,” said Dillip Rajakarier, Group CEO Minor International and
CEO Minor Hotels. “With a fantastic location in Muscat, this new property will
offer exceptional facilities to both business and leisure guests,
with a world class golf course on its doorstep and easy access to
the many cultural attractions the city has to offer. We look
forward to working with the team at ORIS to bring this exciting
property to fruition.”
