PRESIDENTI AL BUSTAN PALACE
It is tradition to offer coffee when a guest enters an Oman home. So it is at Al Bustan Palace, one of the most elegant resorts in Muscat, Oman, where the act of welcome and friendship is performed by the “coffee man,” the cultural host of our Oman beach resort. His cra spans spice stalls and centuries to immerse guests in new experiences and the local way of life.
|4|
It is a story that unfolds throughout every guest’s stay, the blending of the old and the new, the local and the worldly, the opportunity to engage in a new experience, or simply give in to complete relaxation. Arab and art deco influences infuse the luxury Oman resort with an elegant ambiance, most notably in its majestic 38-metre-high domed atrium lobby. A sandy, white beach keeps guests busy with a wealth of waterfront activities, or content to do nothing at all.
AL SUITE
Dining options include both regional and international flavours, making each guest’s journey as much about the experience as it is about the destination. In addition to the breathtaking views of wellmanicured gardens, the Sea of Oman and the Al Hajar Mountains, our Muscat resort features:

HILLTOP ESTATE The guests of the Hilltop Residence live "up on top". High up in the opulent green hills of Laucala island, the "resort in a resort" crowns the dreams of luxury living à la Laucala. For some people it is the captivating panorama view; for others it is the unique atmosphere which makes guest's South Seas dreams of "undreamt of pleasures" come true, with 1.200 square metres of living space, 11.000 square metres for of bedroom space and other private quarters, an unusually designed main residence with its own panoramic pool landscape, two spacious guest residences and special services such as a private cook, a chauffeur and a private nanny. OVERWATER VILLA If one thinks of Laucala as paradise-like holiday scenery, the Overwater Residence is one of the brilliant colours that elevate this resort to a noble holiday work of art. You will never experience the fascination of the South Pacific anywhere as fully as in the twobedroom residence, which appears to float above the emerald-green lagoon. You will not only enjoy luxurious living over an omnipresent ocean when you relax on the spacious terrace ranging across several levels over the lagoon but also when you have a bath in the hot tub or in the large private pool, which has been carved directly into the rocks of the shore, and last but not least while enjoying a romantic Sundowner cocktail or during a private dinner.
PENINSULA VILLA This luxurious mansion resembles an "island on an island", caressed by the dazzling turquoise waters of the South Pacific and surrounded by opulent green hills, a white beach and plenty of space for privacy. The spacious living areas are connected to each other by rope bridges offering spectacular views. The natural pool carved into the rock, the concealed private beach and its own jey guarantee exclusive and completely undisturbed privacy.

PLANTATION VILLAS In the eleven Plantation Residences you can do what you like - relax on the sun deck, the private beach, in your own pool, the hot tub, the shady daybed, the stylish indoor or open-air lounge or in your own bed. Incorporated into the old coconut plantation, the 300 to 610 square metre-large residences completely. South Seas romance. And the exemplary care provided here – as in all residences – by the personal "Tao" (Tao means "my friend") makes sure each guest’s private dreams of paradise come true. PLATEAU VILLAS The exotic character of the private island and the iridescent world of the South Pacific form the background to the fantastic Laucala holiday scenery. In the four Plateau Residences this scenery can be viewed from a very special, natural perspective. Situated on Nawi Mountain, all residences offer unforgeable views out to the sea and the neighbouring islands. Carefully integrated into the island atmosphere, their open-plan design blurs the boundary between the interior and exterior areas and gives guests a beer idea of the atmosphere of this South Seas island. Thanks to the exclusive seclusion on the ridge the Plateau Residences are particularly suitable for undisturbed visits with family or friends. SEAGRASS VILLAS The art of living in harmony with nature without renouncing the conveniences of modern comfort finds its highest expression in the seven Seagrass Residences that nestle unobtrusively under the opulent green of the Sea Grass Bay’s coastline. And like all the other residences they captivate visitors with their clear commitment to the natural environment and Fijian traditions. With their remarkable combination of vast space, exclusively designed interiors, natural materials, luxurious comfort, and the natural outdoor areas with its organically shaped pool and private beach, they create wonderfully inspiring surroundings for sophisticated nature lovers. www.laucala.com

THE ROYAL SUITE AT THE PLAZA NEW YORK It was once said, “Nothing unimportant ever happens at The Plaza.” One of America’s most celebrated hotels, The Plaza opened its doors on October 1, 1907, amid a flurry of impressive reports describing it as the greatest hotel in the world. Located at Fih Avenue and Central Park South, this luxury hotel was constructed in the most fashionable residential section of New York City. The Plaza was the dream of financier Bernhard Beinecke, hotelier Fred Sterry, and Harry S. Black, President of the Fuller Construction Company. They purchased a 15-year-old hotel of the same name on the site. The three men set out to replace it with what is surely one of the most elegant hotels in the world.
| 88 |
Construction of the 19-story building (a skyscraper back then) took two years at a cost of $12 million – an unprecedented sum in those days. Henry Janeway Hardenbergh, who also designed the Dakota apartments, the Willard Hotel in Washington, D.C. and The Fairmont Copley Plaza in Boston, set about his task to provide all the pomp, glory, and opulence of a French chateau. No cost was spared. The largest single order in history for goldencrusted china was placed with L. Straus & Sons, and no less than 1,650 crystal chandeliers were purchased.
