Radisson Blu Hotel, Muscat
Lovely hotel, clean spacious room, super friendly staff, loved breakfast buffet. Awesome gym, love the pool. Only cons are food and drink prices are steep and it's not very "walk friendly" to venture out locally, but everything else was fantastic.

InterContinental Muscat by IHG
The room was amazing with a good view. Club lounge and staff were superb. The only thing stopping a 5 star rating was the service at breakfast and in the evening at the main restaurant, which was slow at times.
