The hotel's prime location adds to its allure. It's a stone's throw away from the Royal Opera House Muscat, a short drive from the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque, and conveniently close to Muscat International Airport. This proximity to iconic landmarks and bustling commercial hubs allows for easy access and a well-rounded travel experience.


In an interview with the Observer, Nicolas Dubort, General Manager of Mandarin Oriental, Muscat, shared his excitement about the hotel's impact on the city.


"This hotel is a landmark addition to Muscat's luxury scene," Dubort said. "But what truly sets us apart is our deep respect for Omani heritage. Throughout the hotel, guests will find subtle touches that celebrate Oman's rich culture and history."


He emphasises the hotel's commitment to understated luxury, a concept highly valued in Muscat. "Mandarin Oriental isn't just a hotel; it's a spotlight for Muscat," he explains. "We aim to showcase the city's beauty to the world and create lasting memories for our guests."


Beyond luxury experiences, Mandarin Oriental brings significant job opportunities. "We have one of the largest teams in Oman's hospitality industry." Dubort highlights. "This creates a unique learning environment for our Omani colleagues, from business practices to crafting unforgettable guest experiences."


He is proud of the hotel's diverse leadership team, including "fantastic women doing exceptional work." The message is clear: Mandarin Oriental welcomes everyone to join their team and contribute to making the hotel an even more special place for Muscat.


Mandarin Oriental Muscat seamlessly blends world-class amenities with the charm of Omani culture, ushering in a new era of luxury living. This visionary initiative transcends expectations, promising an unparalleled experience for residents and visitors alike. It epitomises Oman's commitment to redefining the tourism landscape and attracting international travellers to its beautiful shores.
