Mandarin Oriental — Contemporary luxury with delightful Omani themes.
Mandarin Oriental is a relatively new name to the Muscat hotel scene, opened midsummer 2024. It combines an elegant contemporary design theme with strong Omani influences, especially in the public areas.
Very well located within the upscale Shatti Al-Qurum embassy and residential district. The airport is about a 20-minute drive north.
The famous Royal Opera House, Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque and New Muscat Centre are about a 5-minute drive inland. The old town, with its selection of museums, whitewashed villages and the atmospheric Mattrah Souk (market) is about an 8-minute drive south.
Mandarin Oriental has a selection of 103 rooms & 47 one-bedroom and speciality suites.
All are bright and extremely spacious, starting at 65 sqm, including relaxing patio or balcony facing either the mountains, gardens or sea.
- Two swimming pools
- Spa
- Health Club
- Kid’s club playroom
- Numerous restaurants and bars offering differing locations and cuisine styles
There is a public beach in front of the hotel, separated by a walkway. The beach is popular with Omani residents and visitors. You are asked to respect local protocol and maybe not wear skimpy swimwear to the beach.
Mandarin Oriental Is a delightful and most welcome addition to the luxury Muscat scene.
For us, it is a super choice for those looking to explore the immediate area with all of the attractions of Muscat’s Old and new towns within a short drive. The room quality is so impressive with ample in-and-out living space.
As an idea, the Mandarin Oriental would combine especially well with 2/3 nights high up in the awesome Jabal Akhdar Mountains, maybe staying at the Alila.

All price guides are Per Person Sharing Double Room (Entry level), based on travel between May and/or June when prices are generally at their lowest and include promotional offers. Supplements will probably apply at other times, particularly mid-summer in the Med, and for rooms and/or transfers arranged for single travellers.
For example, the Caribbean and Indian Ocean prices for winter can be approximately double the May - June level and about 50% more in Asia. For the Mediterranean & Canary Islands, Caribbean, Arabia and the Indian Ocean (except Sri Lanka) price guides generally include airfare and transfers.
*For Sri Lanka and Far East we show a per-person, per-night hotel guide, excluding air fare, as arrangements tend to be individually tailored multi-centre itineraries.
