Summer packages at hotels in Muscat

As something of a semi-regular feature here on Muscat Mutterings, I've prepared a round-up of the local offers for residents of the Sultanate to consider this summer. My personal favourite this year is the offer with The Chedi. A night and breakfast, plus a 10% discount at The Restaurant and 20% discount on treatments at their spa for RO 76.000 is my pick of the bunch this year. Also of note is the Crowne Plaza - RO 55.000 + taxes for 2 including breakfast.

Anyway, on with the round up.

The Park Inn

 

The Park Inn are offering special club memberships over the summer (even though their pool appears to be closed 22 hours a day!) along with discounts at their restaurants. No word on room rate specials.

Next up is the Al Bustan Palace. RO 135 (+ 17% tax) gets you a room for the night, dinner at the Al Khiran Terrace and breakfast the following day. I did this last year and had a great time - the infinity pool is very nice :)

InterCon

RO 69.000 plus taxes (17%) for a  room and breakfast for 2, 25% discount in all restaurants and spa treatments too, and early check in and late check out.

The Chedi


My favourite for this summer - RO 76.000 (+17%) including breakfast with a 10% discount at The Restaurant and 20% discount off the spa treatments.You can upgrade your rooms as well.

The Hyatt


Again no word on special room rates at the Hyatt but there are plenty of brunches/buffets/musical events on in their facilities. Also, for most balls held there, a special room rate of RO 50.000 for 2 for the night is usually offered.

Barr Al Jissah

BAJ have won an award of "Best resort in the world" from Ultratravel magazine. Now, normally when companies here win awards, it can sometimes be of, shall we say, dubious in nature? Usually the company that owns the hotel (or restaurant, or mobile phone provider, etc) is some how connected to the entity giving the award. However, Ultratravel magazine is circulated with the Daily Telegraph in the UK and thus I'm fairly sure based on what people actually think when voting.

To celebrate this award, BAJ are offering 50% off their regular rates right across the board in all rooms in all three hotels.


The Radisson BLU

In a somewhat different spin on things, the Radisson BLU are offering something slightly different... stay 1 night at the Muscat location (for 2 people, with breakfast) and get a free room for 2 at the Dubai Mall location. RO 99++.

The Crowne Plaza

The Crowne are offering rooms for RO 55.000 plus 17% taxes, including breakfast with that offer. It's the cheapest deal of the round up!

Anyway - I hope this helps you all make your summer weekend break decisions!
