MUSCAT, April 26 -
Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts announced yesterday at the Arabian Travel Market that it will relaunch the luxurious Shangri-La Al Husn Resort & Spa in Oman as a private standalone resort in October 2017.
The palatial Al Husn — which means castle in Arabic — features 180 rooms and suites and was previously marketed as part of the adjacent Shangri-La Barr Al Jissah Resort & Spa, an integrated destination resort comprised of the family and leisure-focused Al Waha and Al Bandar hotels.
Perched on a cliff overlooking the Gulf of Oman against the dramatic backdrop of rugged mountains, Shangri-La Al Husn has catered to discerning travellers for over a decade and set the standard for luxury in Muscat. Following a rejuvenation, Shangri-La Al Husn will showcase a refreshed new look in key locations throughout the resort and will offer enhanced guest experiences and revitalised dining offerings.
Newly appointed General Manager Milan Drager is overseeing the transition and leading the repositioning of Shangri-La Al Husn Resort & Spa. “For over 10 years, Shangri-La Al Husn has delighted international guests with its refined luxury offering. The team has done a remarkable job bringing this unique hotel to the forefront of tourism in Oman,” said Drager. “I look forward to continuing this legacy while further positioning Shangri-La Al Husn as Muscat’s premier destination resort for travellers seeking a sophisticated holiday experience.”
The resort will introduce a team of Shangri-La specialists dedicated to personalising and enhancing the guest experience. These specialists will be available to custom-design activities — from pre-arrival throughout the duration of a stay — that cater to different interests and embrace the rich local culture.
Innovative enhancements across the hotel’s dining venues are integral to its re-launch, and its venues will be accessible only to guests of Shangri-La Al Husn Resort & Spa.
