6 Top-Rated Resorts in Muscat, Muscat Governorate
Strung below craggy mountains, the Omani capital of Muscat is one of the Middle East’s oldest and most picturesque cities. Between its corniches and modern quarter are Portuguese-built forts, blue-domed mosques, royal palaces, and souks, all heavy with the sense of a lost Arabia.

Omani charm and service wins out
Reviewed By DonNigelI first stayed here for a month back in 2010 when I started a new contract. This is one of the original 'luxury' hotels built back in the 70s and that stay confirmed it was in need of a refurbishment. Happy to say the rooms have been completely refurbished to a modern standard, although not quite as flash as the ones in the newer W Hotel next door. Depending on the time of day this is a 20-30minute taxi ride from Muscat airport - at breakneck speed as is the norm in Oman. Once inside the hotel an air of calm and relaxation takes over, maybe a little too much for some of the staff.... Being a Diamond Elite member this is normally acknowledged at check-in where I can pick from the range of benefits. It wasn't so I pointed this out and was given an upgrade to what I consider to be the best room - 62x, it is the corner room on the top floor overlooking the swimming pool and gardens. It is also very close to the service lift which takes you directly to the LG floor and straight out into the hotel grounds. When not visiting friends I spent most of my time around the pool which now has online ordering for drink and food, it is excellent service via Omani employees - this definitely wasn't the case a decade ago when I was served by TCNs. Times have changed in Oman. I had the breakfast everyday, there is a wide international choice of cuisine and great staff. I always make friends on Day 1 to ensure good service for the rest of my stay, in this case with the maître de who made sure I had the same table. Another lovely two weeks in Muscat visiting friends and places I first met a decade earlier. The understated charm of Oman is still there, it is so NOT Dubai!

Another dimension of customer service
Reviewed By badwim2020Other than the great food and beautiful scenery this hotel has, the customer service is on a different level. I’m on a business travel; I had a painful shoulder stiffness that was preventing me to work. There was no availability to book a massage session. Caroline, gave me her muscle pain relieving spray. This changed the whole trip. Thank you so much
