Minor Signs Tivoli Hotel and Residences in Muscat, Oman

Dark/Light Mode (07/04/23)  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.

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.”
