HOTEL OVERVIEW

InterContinental Muscat is a 35-acre oasis in the heart of the city's premier residential, government and diplomatic quarter. The business and commercial district is close by, as are must-see sights including the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque, Bait Al Zubair Museum and Amouage Perfume Factory. For shoppers, the Muttrah Souk is the essence of Muscat.

Our rooms offer a panoramic view over the swimming pools and the beach, whilst the others overlook the Hajjar Mountains. All our rooms (36.7sqm) have balconies and "French windows" over the entire width of the rooms, as well as high-speed/broad-band Internet access and coffee/tea making facilities.

Our six restaurants offer everything from pastries on the go to romantic dinners at poolside. French-Polynesian, Italian, Mexican and British are among the cuisines offered for a culinary tour de force.

Señor Pico will tempt you with traditional Mexican dishes, quench your thirst with special recipe cocktails and embrace you with authentic Mexican ambiance and a Latino vibe. Fajitas, Carnitas and Enchiladas are among the savoury south-of-the-border entrées offered along with a satisfying selection of vegetarian dishes. Behind the bar, Señor Pico's secrets are shaken into the popular Margarita, tequila drinks and Latin favorites such as the Pisco Sour and the Cuban Mojito.

The Al Ghazal Pub is the most popular British-style pub in town thanks to a steady stream of happening bands, drink promotions, quiz nights and pool and dart competitions. Award-winning food doesn't hurt the cause either, with fish and chips leading the votes for best pub fare. An extensive drink menu and comfort fare such as the Irish Stew will keep you coming back.

The Palm Beach Club is 900 square meters (9,688 square feet) of fitness and fun. A gym, Jacuzzi, steam room, sauna and plunge pool have everything you need whether you prefer a great workout or a few quiet moments of relaxation. For more activity, squash and tennis courts are also available.
