JW Marriott, OCEC Hotel

The JW Marriot is situated next to the iconic Oman Convention and Exhibition Centre located in Muscat, Sultanate of Oman.

It is a 230-key four star hotel and is being built to meet the stringent LEED Gold certification by the U.S. Green Building Council.

The architectural design includes twisting metal ribbons to encase the main architectural drum of the hotel, with wings leading off the central drum. The floating canopies have been washed with light to increase the floating appearance.

The design scheme is contemporary with clean lines, with the interiors fusing together local and traditional patterns and materials with a modern touch.
