This is the hotel with the highest elevation in the Middle East.
Lotfi Sidirahal, Principal at Atelier Pod, spent time meeting the mountain?s communities, exploring the vernacular typologies, and learning the architectural and landscape details of the region.

He wanted to bring the more historic architectural elements of Oman to the resort and cast these designs in a new light for the modern luxury hotel.
The goal was to create a ?unique and contemporarily rooted resort within the extraordinary heritage of the region,? the studio said.
The hotel retains key elements of Oman?s architecture and reflects the fortification typology of the Nizwa region and the surrounding mountain citadels.
