voco Hotels, a premium brand in IHG Hotels & Resorts’ portfolio, has launched in Oman with the opening of voco Muscat Al Mouj.
Located in Al Mouj
Marina—Muscat’s vibrant waterfront hub—the hotel sits within a lifestyle
destination featuring a marina, golf course, and lively promenade of dining and
retail outlets.
The hotel offers 251
rooms and suites, most with sea views, including 47 suites.
The property reflects
voco’s hallmark blend of individuality and comfort, combining modern style with
subtle Omani influences. Its design follows an “aquatic story,” with
ocean-inspired elements such as a dramatic lobby ceiling, jellyfish-like
lighting, and interiors in coastal tones of blue, gold, and green.
Wave-patterned
corridors further enhance the immersive seaside theme.
Guests are welcomed
with a smooth check-in and a signature treat inspired by Omani hospitality—a
handcrafted date and nut delicacy reminiscent of traditional halwa.
Sustainability is
central to the hotel’s operations, featuring recycled bedding materials and
organic bath products.
Dining options include
Oléa, serving Mediterranean cuisine, and Kahwa House, inspired by Oman’s coffee
culture.
Additional amenities
include a sea-facing infinity pool, HARNN The Spa for wellness treatments,
pet-friendly accommodations, and flexible meeting spaces equipped with advanced
technology.
Haitham Mattar,
Managing Director, IHG Hotels & Resorts – India, Middle East & Africa,
said: “The debut of voco in Muscat marks a significant milestone in our
expansion strategy across the Middle East. This opening reflects our deep
commitment to supporting Oman Vision 2040 and contributing to the Sultanate's
growing tourism and economic diversification goals. By bringing our
fastest-growing premium brand to such a coveted waterfront address, we are
offering travellers a fresh, contemporary way to experience Omani hospitality."
“Being part of the first voco to open in Oman is something truly special. voco is a brand that resonates with today’s traveller, someone who values quality and personality over formality. At Al Mouj, we have the perfect canvas: a stunning waterfront setting, 251 rooms with predominantly sea-facing views, and unique dining experiences. We cannot wait to welcome our first guests,” said Roger Marti, General Manager, voco Muscat Al Mouj. -TradeArabia News Service
