Lonely Planet review
A popular and lively hotel in the middle of a thriving suburb of Muscat, the Radisson SAS commands a wonderful view of the mountains from the poolside and hosts some of the best events in town.
In a country with over 2000km of coastline, and in a city surrounded on three sides by the sea, it may seem like a missed opportunity for a hotel to be parked inland. The Radison makes up for this accident of birth by making the most of Muscat's other great asset: the mountains. On a clear day they look close enough to touch. With comfortable rooms and a strong sense of the Middle East influencing the decor and the general ambience, this is one chain hotel that lets you know the city you're in. Furthermore, the cuisine has a regional flavour with good buffet nights. Don't miss the bar which attracts many local residents in search of a relaxed evening and is a favourite with the legendary Faiq, the Omani FM DJ with an impeccable South London accent.
