“Muscat beach classic, aging gracefully”
InterContinental Hotels Muscat by IHG is a 1977 classic renovated in 2021 — an older hotel with large rooms, classic mood, professional service and hassle-free early check-ins. The beach-side position is beautiful, near the opera house with boats passing; the pool is great and privacy good; and the breakfast is huge, varied and served timely even when crowded during Ramadan, with sea views from the window. Some facilities need improvement and the building shows its age, but guests plan returns.
