The Chedi is Muscat's greatest hotel — Jean-Michel Gathy's low-rise masterwork of Omani geometry and Zen minimalism sits in 21 acres of gardens between the Gulf of Oman and the Al Hajar mountains. The 103-metre infinity pool is one of the world's longest, the spa is sublime, and the service culture is deeply considered.
