Swiss-Belhotel Signs 3-Star Hotel in Muscat, Oman

Swiss-Belhotel International (SBI) has entered into a management agreement with Al Salaam International Hotel LLC to operate Swiss-Belinn Muscat in Oman.

Expected to open in 2019, the 3-star hotel is located in close proximity to Muscat International Airport.

Mr. Nadhim Said Hamdan Al Rawahi, Partner of Al Salaam International Hotel LLC, said, “The Swiss-Belinn Muscat is being equipped with the very best facilities in the upper 3-star category and will contribute greatly to development of tourism in Oman. The project location is across the airport and hence our main concept is blending business, transits and pleasure.”

Swiss-Belinn Muscat, equipped with 120 standard rooms and 10 varieties of suites, will feature an all-day-dining restaurant, flexible meeting and conference venues, a gym, Wi-Fi access and 24-hour room service.

Mr. Laurent A. Voivenel, Senior Vice President, Operations and Development for the Middle East, Africa and India for Swiss-Belhotel International, said, “Oman’s tourism industry has experienced strong growth over the past few years, and this is expected to continue. However, the country’s hospitality sector is currently dominated by luxury 5-star or 4-star hotels leaving an enormous gap and opportunity in the midscale sector. Hence it is the perfect time for us to enter the market and position the hugely successful 3-star Swiss-Belinn brand capitalizing on the rising demand for high quality affordable accommodation.”
