Fodor's Expert Review Hormuz Grand

Al Matar St., Muscat, Masqat, Oman

One of the newest properties to open in Muscat, the Hormuz Grand is the first luxury property in Seeb, just across the expressway from the airport. While the hotel's exterior may seem plain, the grounds are beautifully manicured and the rooms sleek and modern, including fun touches like a PlayStation and high-end toiletries. The hotel has a fine but extremely expensive Indian restaurant in addition to a pool lounge and all-day international restaurant. On-site are also an elegant spa and a pool surrounded by comfortable, pillow-covered lounge chairs. The property expects to get a liquor license by 2016.
