The best hotels Muscat

This refurbished hotel has an ideal location, close to the embassies and especially the beach. it has 86 well-appointed and comfortable rooms and several leisure facilities: Swimming pool, hammam, sauna, fitness centre. There is no on-site bar and no alcohol served in the hotel.

We come here because of the convenient location just a stone's throw from the airport, leaving aside the immediate surroundings. This Centara is equipped with the latest facilities: fitness centre, rooftop swimming pool and spa, which is of course of the highest quality since it is Thai. The rooms, with their soft tones, surf on an international style without false notes. No alcohol, but the establishment has several restaurants including a Thai, a Turkish table and a BBQ area by the panoramic swimming pool.

Perched on a rocky spur at the end of the long beach of Qurm, central and under French management, it is a hotel watchtower like no other open to the wave and the city. You will have to listen to us and come: for the numerous bars and restaurants with panoramic terraces, for The Edge, one of the most beautiful tables in Muscat, for the vast range of leisure activities (tennis, squash, fitness center, sauna and hammam). Upstairs, a huge infinity pool seems to plunge into the sea, downstairs a beautiful private beach lounges between two cliffs.TOP

A favorite hotel of the Happy Few on holiday in Muscat, the Chedi is an exceptional establishment whose elegance, aesthetic identity and zenitude immediately make you forget the banality of the beach. Every square meter here offers a lesson in good taste and Arabian-contemporary decoration, like the lobby with its myriad of lanterns, the gym-library-spa in Greek symbiosis, the timelessly chic restaurants and bars, the rooms and suites with graphic lines. When the braziers ignite around the 103 meter long main pool, the world is beautiful.

A majestic palace, the Al Bustan is enthroned in front of its private mountain-framed bay, facing the capital's longest and most beautiful beach. The 38-metre-high Atrium features precious materials, crystal fountains and walls inlaid with pearls and gold leaf. Rooms, gardens, swimming pools, restaurants and spa breathe integral class and offer an elegant manifesto of Arabian-Contemporary style revisited by Ritz-Carlton. Even the architecture is a collector's item. A great place.

Just a few minutes from the airport and the Oman Convention Center, this recently built Novotel offers modern and warm spaces punctuated with Arabian touches. If we appreciate the freshness of Ginger and its qualitative buffets, our preference goes to Teatro, a fusion table orchestrating several types of Asian cuisine in the form of live stations. As for the rooms and suites, the high-tech equipment and the globalized decoration ensure a stay without false notes. For relaxation: outdoor swimming pool, hammam, gymnasium, 2 golf courses less than 10 minutes away by car.

Centrally located, this resort offers the functionality of spacious family-friendly apartments - 88 one- to two-bedroom units, living/dining room, modern kitchen, multiple amenities. Relax in the 24-hour gym, the wellness center (massages), and the rooftop lounge areas by the pool. Two restaurants cater to small and large appetites 7 days a week, and there are several restaurants and fast-food outlets in the immediate vicinity.

In a wild bay surrounded by mountains facing the ocean, this is one of the flagship resorts of Omani tourism, with two wings for 460 rooms and suites, 13 bars and restaurants, 6 swimming pools and a lazy river: Al Waha, family and sporty, with its Cool Zone for children and relaxed tables; Al Bandar, the heart of the resort, with its dining piazza.

With a luminous lobby surrounding 174 comfortable rooms, the youngest member of the Radisson family, although lacking a garden, has an exclusive asset in the form of a rooftop swimming pool with a large terrace bar. On the first floor, guests can lunch or dine on the Palm's indoor terrace, or at RBG, a quality steakhouse.

Although it shares the same bay as its neighbors in the same group, with access to 13 bars and restaurants in addition to its own 4, this palace is not in the same league. On a promontory pierced by the sea, bordered by its own private beach, Al Husn, the castle, is a luxurious establishment reserved exclusively for its residents. Every space is a lesson in elegance: the 180 rooms and suites open onto the sea, the infinity pool, the Luban Spa and its incense treatments... Select.

Tucked away in the scrappy urbanity of Ruwi, the Al Falaj has nice hospitality and dining spaces. The 148 rooms offer good value for money and conventional comfort, functional and without false notes. It is the restaurants and bars that create the difference by the appreciable diversity of the settings and atmospheres: from the Lords Pub to the Japanese Tokyo Taro, not forgetting the Stassen Tea Lounge or Kebab and wheels, one of the few theme clubs in the capital. Also swimming pool, gym, jacuzzi, sauna, hammam, tennis, swimming, martial arts, etc.

This is the inexpensive address in the Qurum district, for the not-too-demanding traveler looking above all for central accommodation. The modest white building stands between the opera house and the sea, a stone's throw from the huge public beach and a number of great cafés and restaurants within walking distance. This prime location justifies the listing, without offering anything more. The old-fashioned, tiled rooms and apartments are clean, spacious, comfortable but drab. There is, however, a swimming pool in the courtyard for a refreshing dip and a parking lot.

Despite its imposing architecture, the Intercontinental is a resort in its own right with its wide range of bars and restaurants (including the Japanese Takara, the Treat café, the cool Trader Vic's, etc.), its leisure areas (2 tennis courts, a large fitness center, 2 swimming pools, one of which is for swimming), and its vast gardens planted with palm trees giving access to the immense public beach of Qurm. Recently renovated, the rooms and suites are sufficiently globalized, high-tech and comfortable to please everyone - favour the "sea view" rooms to really enjoy the balcony.

As soon as you walk through the door, the oriental atmosphere envelops you. Welcome to the enchanted world of gilding! The lobby sets the tone with its Sultanian dome, stained glass windows and princely staircases. Renovated in 2023, the 280 rooms and suites are equipped with true palace comfort. The culinary offer is varied (Marjan, Tuscany, John Barry Bar...) and there is even a temple of entertainment in the annex with a bar, discotheque and grill. A new infinity pool is located in the gardens. Also: fitness, tennis. Beach right in front

Barastis bungalows are one of the most atypical and charming accommodation in Muscat, in a sublime bay outside the city. For non-divers to spend the day on the beach, to stay on the spot, what we recommend! One of our great strokes!

The centre offers accommodation in a sumptuous two storey villa (Villa Dune), located in a residential area of Muscat, close to shops and beach. The residence comprises 8 air-conditioned rooms with private bathrooms.

Just 5 minutes from the beach and a stone's throw from the largest malls in Muscat, this hotel giant benefits from a central location and direct and convenient access to the Muscat Grand Mall (footbridge). From the lobby to the top swimming pool with a 360-degree view of the city, space is the guiding principle of this vast complex with 40 apartments (some with private swimming pool), 296 rooms and suites of great comfort, 3 restaurants (one of which is seafood), a gym, a second swimming pool reserved for women and a spa with 6 treatment rooms, hammam, sauna... XL.

This beautiful new 4-star Arabian-Contemporary style hotel is located right in front of the prestigious Al Mouj marina and offers 195 spacious rooms with a sea view, several restaurants with well-designed settings, a fitness room... and a real ice-cream parlour offering only home-made products. The swimming pool on the top floor and its adjoining bar offer a superb view of the sea from where you will not be able to sip your favorite aperitif, as the establishment does not serve alcohol. So, stay here for the style and the value, and go to the Kempinski next door for dinner.

Right on the Mutrah corniche, facing the boats, this small hotel offers around forty rooms with no particular charm, but spacious, nickels, equipped with all modern comforts (private bathroom, air conditioning, TV, hairdryer). You can walk to the fish market and souks, while others have to take a 30-minute cab ride from their larger hotels. Several restaurants offer terraces in the immediate vicinity, and the hotel itself has a bright, modern breakfast café on the first floor. A great idea!
