Best Hotels in Muscat (2026)

Where you stay in Muscat shapes your trip, because the city is long and spread out. Shatti Al Qurum and Qurum are the best all-round areas for first-time visitors, with beaches, restaurants and the Royal Opera House close by. Al Khuwair, a little further west, is central and good value, with Grand Millennium Muscat, Fraser Suites and ibis Muscat all within a short drive of the Grand Mosque. Mutrah puts you beside the souq and corniche but has fewer large hotels.

For a resort stay, The Chedi Muscat offers calm, design-led luxury with a 103-metre pool and a private beach, and the Kempinski Hotel Muscat in Al Mouj has a long coastline, a kids' club and 11 places to eat and drink. Near the airport, JW Marriott Hotel Muscat is connected to the Oman Convention and Exhibition Centre, the Radisson Collection Hotel, Hormuz Grand is under two kilometres from the terminal, and Aloft Muscat offers good-value rooms with free parking, which suits road trips. Book early for November to March, the busiest season, and check whether rates include breakfast. If you plan day trips, choose a hotel with easy parking or one close to the main highway.
