The new-school W of the Gulf, set directly on the sand of Shatti Al Qurum.
W Muscat
From
292.677 €
“Two infinity pools facing the Gulf of Oman, about 20 minutes from Mascate Airport.”
W Muscat settles directly on the sand of Shatti Al Qurum, a stone's throw from the seafront of the Omani capital. We arrive via a palm-lined alley, under light that already falls low in the late afternoon. The two infinity pools, one calm, the other more lively, share the view over the Gulf of Oman. The rooms play the contrast card: raw concrete, light wood, vibrant colour touches signed W. The rate starts at 293 € per night, consistent for a 5-star beach hotel of this standing in the Gulf. The spa and fitness room complete the wellness offer, without claiming to rival the major spa addresses in the region. We regret the lack of precise information on the restaurant menu, a point to check before booking.
Who is it for?
Who we recommend it to
We recommend the W Muscat to couples and families seeking a modern beach address, within walking distance of the beach. It is a hotel for a relaxing stay around the pools, between visits to old Mascate or the Mutrah corniche. Business travellers also find what they need, thanks to free Wi-Fi everywhere and included parking.
The building
Architecture and interiors
The building adopts the contemporary codes of the W brand: clean lines, terraces open to the Sea of Oman. The common areas play on material contrasts, concrete, light wood and colourful touches. No precise information is given on the construction date or the exact layout of the rooms. The whole remains a single-storey beach hotel, organised around its two pools overlooking the sand.
At the table
Restaurants, bar, service
A restaurant is offered on site, as well as room service. The available data specify neither the menu nor the name of a chef, so we remain cautious on this point before booking for the table rather than the room.
