Built for a summit of Arab leaders in 1985, Al Bustan Palace remains one of the architectural wonders of the Gulf — its soaring 38-metre atrium dome, private beach in a protected natural bay, and mountain backdrop create a setting of genuinely regal drama. The Ritz-Carlton management has refined rather than overworked it.

Crowne Plaza's Qurum property occupies a cliff-top position above one of Muscat's best-protected natural coves — the terraced pool complex descending to a private beach is extraordinary at this price point, and the hilltop views over the Gulf are as good as any hotel in the city.
