The Atrium Lobby is famous for a lavish Afternoon tea, something you must experience.
Set between the rugged Al Hajar Mountains and the sparkling Gulf of Oman, this architectural marvel embodies the opulence of the Omani Sultans.
Wanderlust, April 2025Originally designed as a palace for the Sultan of Oman, this jewel-encrusted hotel rises like an enormous golden Easter egg between Muscat’s rugged Hajjar mountains and a one-kilometre stretch of private coastline. With its sprawling grounds, it’s just the ticket for families with restless children in tow.
