Lovely hotel and managers are absolutely brilliant and accommodating with any help you may require. Housekeeping are also incredible. Lovely pools and restaurants. The sauna, jacuzzi area is a little bit dated and could do with revamping to match the rest of the hotel

The property is in a lovely area and next to the Opera House. The beach is a public beach and it would have been nice if you could use the beach a bit more i.e. with sunbeds etc. The staff are really lovely and cannot do enough for you. The housekeeping in the room was a little hit and miss, but always clean. A good selection of restaurants and also within easy walking distance of a small mall with coffee shops and outside restaurants if you don't want to eat in the hotel.

Information about the area

Muscat, Oman

With a stay at InterContinental Muscat by IHG in Muscat (Shati Al Qurum), you'll be a 2-minute drive from Royal Opera House Muscat and 7 minutes from Qurum Beach. This beach hotel is 5.3 mi (8.6 km) from Oman Avenues Mall and 5.6 mi (9.1 km) from Muscat Grand Mall.

Muscat is the capital of Oman and the largest city in the country. The city of Muscat has played a significant historical role due to its strategic location. What is particularly striking about the Muscat Governorate and its states is the stunning blend of ancient cultural heritage and modern style. You will see houses, gates, old markets, small shops, and winding roads that are reminiscent of authentic history, alongside modern markets, shops, buildings, and streets that bear the mark of modern architecture. This allows Oman to maintain its historical character while also embracing its contemporary spirit.
