Shangri-La Al Husn, Muscat

Staying at the Shangri La Al Husn Muscat has been one of the highlights of our time in the Middle East. We decided to go for my girlfriends birthday and the team worked exceptionally well with me to deliver a unforgettable experience. Getting to the Shangri La was a bit of a challenge and taxis do not come cheap in Oman. Though it was not challenging I do wish there was a pickup/drop off option for the guests. The inclusive breakfast was wonderful and ordering off the menu assured that everything you ordered stayed fresh. There was a mixup with our order due to a language barrier but the food was still phenomenal. The in room breakfast and room service was a highlight as it allowed you to take full advantage of the room and with the inbuilt heaters in the dining table assured the food stayed hot. The value for money on in room dining was disappointing as an order of a burger and fries came with a small amount of fries, however that was fixed with our next order. The afternoon tea was delicious, highlights being the fromage and watermelon and the scones. Each afternoon tea was different and kept the palate excited. The happy hour beverages were also included and always came with a suprise canapé from the restaurant. In terms of the staycation, it was perfect. The interior and exterior of the hotel is beautiful and the sound of the ocean left you relaxed for the stay. I would like to raise that there was a lot of sealife by the beach which deterred us from swimming in the sea as we had heard a lot about the Omani coast and didn’t have much confidence in the beach patrol and lifeguards there. We noticed some playing on their phones but they were always happy to assist taking a picture for the two of us. I would suggest a more upfront approach when it comes to what you can expect in the sea there. A visitors lounge was also available allowing you to take full opportunity of the facilities till you left for your next adventure.

太棒了 一切都很完美 極致的細緻入微的服務 給了我完美的體驗 還有免費的下午茶 happy hour 很多超乎想象的優待

We’ve literally returned from a 7 night stay at the beautiful hotel a week ago and have already booked a return experience for November 2025! We told staff we would be back and the memories we’ve brought home with us and wonderful experience has made us leave a part of our hearts here at the Shangri-La Al Husn. The hotel is meticulously maintained, spotlessly clean and every member of staff you encounter go above and beyond to make your stay a fabulous experience! The service is excellent as is the quality of food in the Sultanna restaurant. We stayed on a B&B basis simply because I don’t generally consume 3 courses at dinner. Highly recommend the 32 hour cooked beef and the wonderful lamb shoulder which fell apart and like velvet to eat. Breakfast had a great selection and chef also came to ask if there was anything we wanted preparing to let him know! Wonderful. We used the chi spa at the neighbouring hotel purely because we wanted an Asian massage which the spa in our hotel didn’t offer and it was a great experience! We also visited the piano bar in that hotel which is open from midnight, tasteful interior and good selection of cocktails etc on offer. It was Ramadan during our stay and it didn’t affect us really although missed a little wine or beer at lunch time at the beach restaurant. Dress modestly and respectfully at this hotel and whilst out and about. You can wear a bikini at the beach or a swimsuit. Loved the idea of afternoon tea each day - we only sampled once and it was a first class experience only for me it was in the middle of the afternoon at 3.30 pm which if you’ve been in the beach or by the pool you needed to return to your room to shower and change to be respectful to others. Loved the pre dinner drinks and canapés, popular with all the guests, some music whilst enjoying or a band playing would be great only I believe this was not possible during Ramadan so looking forward to a different experience in November. Loved kayaking in the sea and also the cool box with water and juice and the tiny bottle of Evian spray to keep your face cool! The concierge assisted with booking a driver to take us to the mosque and we also enjoyed the boat trip to see dolphins, highly recommend - go for the early trip. Simply perfect, stunning location so pleased we are returning in a few months, cannot wait and am hopeful the hotel will grant our request for the same room please 1364.
