The best hotels Nizwa

At the entrance to Nizwa and 3 kilometers from the historic center, this is the quintessential provincial hotel, with its historic staff, vast glossy floors, spacious rooms and apartments, recently renovated and therefore very good value for money. An outdoor swimming pool in a vast courtyard is a great place to cool off, and there's also a small gym and a great restaurant frequented by locals and tourists alike - buffet and à la carte dishes of the highest quality. Ask for a room in the new, quieter wing at the rear of the building.

In the spirit of a small fort, it's a horizontal establishment, with 2 vast interior courtyards surrounded, like a sentry walk, by the procession of 53 rooms and 2 suites. Recently renovated, they offer a high level of comfort (air-conditioning, TV, mini-bar) and tasteful decor. One of the courtyards features a pleasant swimming pool, the other the terrace of the international cuisine restaurant. There's also a children's playground, 3 licensed bars, gym and steam room. French-speaking Joseph is in charge of management.

Twenty kilometers from the historic center, this is the most upscale hotel in Nizwa and the surrounding area. With 120 well-equipped rooms, 4 bars and cafés, a restaurant, a vast swimming pool, a huge lobby and Arab-style outdoor tents for relaxing in the evening, it offers a comfortable stopover of international standing. You can't walk to Nizwa, but you can relax in a cool, quiet spot, and children have plenty of room to play. There are also several meeting rooms for business tourism.

This hotel opened in 2023 and offers 15 keys. Without any particular charm, its main asset is that it is located in the heart of the old town and offers an elevator and all modern comforts. This is an important detail for those who can't access the traditional houses but still want to stay in the old town. The rooms, from standard to family, are all air-conditioned and, for breakfast, a choice is given between an Omani and a continental version. In short, it's an easy, well-placed address!
