Donald Trump’s signature brand has announced plans for a new hotel to be built in Oman as part of the company’s expansion in the Middle East.
The Trump Organization has partnered with Oman’s state-run tourism department, the Omran Group, to design and build the Trump International Oman Hotel before the end of the decade.
Newsweek contacted the Trump Organization for more information via email.
The Context
The Trump Organization is investing heavily in Middle Eastern construction over the next decade, with major construction projects in Saudi Arabia and the UAE. By 2031, the company hopes that three new structures will be operating in the region, which is billing itself as a new hub for tourism and international investment in order to diversify the regional economy away from oil exports.
What To Know
The new hotel, designed by luxury real estate developer Dar Global, will be built in Oman’s capital, Muscat.
Like many of the Trump Organization’s other buildings, the hotel will borrow heavily from its namesake’s reputation for opulence, using the same white-gold color scheme present in Trump Tower, New York and the two planned towers in Saudi Arabia and the UAE.
Rendered images of the project’s future released by Dar Global show that the hotel will house a swimming pool, a nightclub, and a viewing deck for the Gulf of Oman, as well as an international golf course, all Trump-branded.
One of the most ambitious parts of the hotel, if built correctly, will be a series of hanging suites that face the coast, with wall-to-ceiling windows for views.
The hotel has a reported price tag of $500 million, with construction expected to be finished by the end of 2028. However, the first phase of building work is set to be done by 2027.
What People Are Saying
In a statement seen by Newsweek, the Omran Group said: “Oman is quickly becoming one of the most prominent commercial and cultural hubs in the region and is rapidly becoming a prime investment destination due to its attractive benefits.
“From its favorable tax environment and its strategic location as a gateway to the Middle East and Africa, Oman offers countless opportunities for businesses to grow and thrive.”
Eric Trump, who manages the Trump Organization with his brother Donald Jr., said in December: “This collaboration embodies our shared vision of creating landmark developments that exude luxury, quality, and sophistication. Together with Dar Global, we are setting new benchmarks for excellence, aiming to meet the demand for iconic properties in key markets.”
What Happens Next
Dar Global and the Trump Organization have said that the hotel will be fully constructed by December 2028.
