Marriott International has officially opened its second W hotel in the Middle East this year. The W Muscat is the brand's latest beachfront property in Oman.
“Muscat is a fascinating and exciting city. Its cultural DNA honors millennia of tradition while looking to what’s new and next—an ideal match for the W brand,” said Anthony Ingham, global brand leader, W Hotels Worldwide. “The arrival of W in Muscat marks a new chapter for both the brand and this buzzing metropolis.”
The hotel has 279 guestrooms and suites. Public spaces include a 1,800-square-meter beachfront pool; a spa with 10 treatment rooms, a steam room, a hammam and a couples’ treatment room, a gym, and several dining options, including the Siddharta Lounge By Buddha-Bar, Harvest, the Char grill house and the Ba Ban Chinese restaurant.
Earlier this year, Marriott International announced plans to add 19 new properties and more than 3,000 rooms to its Middle East and Africa portfolio in 2019, in line with its expansion plans to add more than 100 new properties and nearly 26,000 rooms across the region by year-end 2023.
