Oman’s first Studio M hotel to open next year

Muscat, dec 23 - Global hotel giant Millennium Hotels and Resorts says its first Studio M property in the Sultanate — Muscat Shaden — is due to open in 2019.  Studio M is a chic urban hotel brand that is part of the Millennium Hotels and Resorts global family, which includes The Biltmore Collection, Grand Millennium, Millennium Resorts, M Social, Millennium Place, Copthorne, M Hotel, Kingsgate and Millennium executive apartments.

“Studio M provides thoughtful, well-designed spaces with the cool factor combined with stylish, high-quality rooms and fuss-free technology. The standardized brand design, operational efficiency and lower development costs ensure an affordable price point, whilst its strong design aesthetic and nature mean that it is aligned with the millennial mindset as well as the young at heart,” said the Group in a statement.

Earlier this month, Millennium Hotels and Resorts launched the Studio M Arabian Plaza in Dubai — the first Studio M in the MENA region and the first property to be introduced under the Studio M collection.

“The recently concluded launch of Studio M Arabian Plaza is Millennium Hotels & Resorts MENA’s strategic step in addressing the GCCs growing demand for midscale properties,” said Kevork Deldelian, Chief Operating Officer. Deldelian added, “The hotel’s features also capture the interests of the growing market of the millennial generation looking for quality-driven, trendy and technologically advanced hotels. We believe the market needs more three-star properties as they provide increased opportunities to attract bigger numbers of potential travellers to the region. With the right hotels and price brackets, we are able to open up the markets and we look forward to showcasing this as Studio M expands across the GCC.”

Millennium Hotels & Resorts owns, asset manages and/or operates over 120 hotels worldwide. With almost 40,000 rooms worldwide, the company is present on all continents with a portfolio of brands, which serve different market segments, representing quality and value in every class.
