Fraser Suites Muscat

Fraser Suites Muscat is a serviced apartment property in the Landmark Building on 23 July Street, in the Al Khuwair district at the centre of the capital's long coastal sprawl. It offers a different kind of stay from the beach resorts: apartments with kitchens, more space than a standard hotel room and a central location that suits longer visits, families and business travellers. Apartment types run from deluxe studios through one- and two-bedroom deluxe and executive apartments to three-bedroom deluxe units.

Because the apartments are equipped for self-catering, you can cook your own meals, which helps keep costs down on a longer trip. When you do not want to cook, the property has several dining options. Oak Restaurant serves a buffet breakfast and set menus of Middle Eastern and international dishes, Mais offers all-day dining with speciality coffee, and room service runs from 7am to 10pm. On the rooftop, Hamra Restaurant and Sheesha Lounge serves Arabic grills and mezze with shisha and city views until 1am.

The property suits families who need more space, groups of friends sharing an apartment, business travellers on longer stays and independent visitors who want a central base rather than a resort. Prices are mid-range for the city, and the apartment layout often works out better value for groups sharing. Book directly with the reservations team for longer stays, and confirm the apartment type you need. If you plan to self-cater, check what kitchen equipment is provided in your apartment type, and ask about weekly housekeeping arrangements for longer stays.

Al Khuwair is a practical location, central enough that most sights are within half an hour by taxi. The Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque is a short drive west, Qurum Beach and the Royal Opera House are a few minutes east, and the restaurants and bars of Al Khuwair, including the Radisson Blu's venues and Turkish House, are close by. Mutrah and Old Muscat are around 25 to 30 minutes by car depending on traffic.
