Established in 1977, the InterContinental Muscat is a landmark of luxury hospitality in Oman—proudly developed by the Oman Tourism Development Company (OMRAN). As the country’s first international five-star hotel, it has long been the premier destination for business travelers and discerning guests alike.

Situated in Muscat’s esteemed diplomatic district of Shatti Al‑Qurum, the hotel offers serene beachfront access, lush landscaped gardens, and commanding views of the Hajar Mountains. A haven of spacious tranquility, its expansive grounds and Art‑Deco architecture evoke both elegance and local authenticity.

Guests are welcomed into one of its 270 rooms—including 10 sumptuous suites—all thoughtfully furnished with modern comforts, private balconies overlooking garden, pool, sea, or cityscapes, and fully accessible amenities for all visitors. The hotel boasts three outdoor heated pools—including an adults‑only and a children’s pool—plus the exclusive Palm Beach Club featuring a 25‑meter lap pool, gym, sauna, steam room, jetted bathtub, floodlit tennis courts, and direct beach access.

Dining at InterContinental Muscat Hotel is a rich, multicultural journey with seven on-site restaurants, including Trader Vic’s, Musandam Restaurant, Tomato, Tr‑Eat, Takara, Mynah’s Edge, and Al Ghazal Pub, each delivering exceptional flavors in settings ranging from relaxed outdoor terraces to vibrant, tropical‑inspired venues.

The hotel’s commitment to sustainability is evident in its eco-friendly operations: over 80% of lighting is LED, at least 80% of food is sourced locally, and comprehensive recycling and food‑waste policies are in place. With facilities including meeting rooms, a business center, spa, wellness services, salon, and concierge-led tours, it caters successfully to both corporate and leisure markets.

In 2025, InterContinental Muscat Hotel was honored with a Luxury Lifestyle Awards for Best Luxury Urban Resort in Oman, a fitting tribute to its enduring legacy of grace, cultural authenticity, and impeccable service.
