A main feature of the hotel has to be the bespoke, cascading crystal chandelier unique in its design and created to set-off the intricate and elaborate detailing of the newly designed atrium.
Owned by the Government of Oman, the Al Bustan Palace InterContinental Muscat's design offers a distinctive blend of historical Oman fused with contemporary concepts, creating a holiday destination that reflects the individual culture of the country.
Only the finest materials have been selected in the renovation and design of Al Bustan Palace InterContinental Muscat, sourced from premium local and international suppliers.
