The Sultanate of Oman is a country of enormous contrasts. The dramatic landscapes, rich history, modern infrastructure and economy, as well as the strong cultural roots and friendliness of the Omani people, have contributed to creating a fantastic and newly discovered travel destination.

Grand Hyatt Muscat has already established itself as one of the city’s leading city resort hotels. It offers a superbly unique combination of gracious old-world standards of service, a stunning beach setting, new-age technology, elegant dining venues and an incomparable location in the heart of the city’s diplomatic and government district. Sumptuous Arabian surroundings and warm Omani hospitality accord its guests an ideal vacation setting or haven in which to unwind and relax after a busy business day.

Set on the shores of the Gulf of Oman along Shatti Al Qurum beach and spread over 40,000 sq m of the city’s most expensive real estate, the hotel never fails to stun first-time visitors with its impressive façade and interiors. Constructed from massive stone blocks in a combination of Omani and Yemeni styles, with unique Arabian jewellery accents incorporated into both the exterior and interior of the hotel, Grand Hyatt Muscat is a reflection of the refined taste and wealth of Arabia. Tall torches flanking the exterior of the building are lit at sunset, their radiant flames a symbol of eternity.

The welcoming atmosphere and timeless grandeur of the hotel envelops visitors from the moment they enter the hotel’s lobby. A life-sized bronze statue of an Arabian falconer on horseback, revolving imperceptibly beneath a 150-ft high octagonal sky-dome, forms the focal point for this grand area. Silk-canopied seating areas adorn the lobby lounge, accentuating the intricately worked gold-leaf Arabesque walls and pillars, and the exquisite green-and-white Italian marble floors.
