The Shangri-La Al Husn Resort & Spa, Muscat has unveiled its flagstone in a ceremony to commemorate its relaunch as a separate resort to Shangri-La Barr Al Jissah Resort & Spa. The event was attended by His Excellency Mohammad Al Zubair, founder of The Zubair Corporation and Mr Ziyad M. Al Zubair, Director of The Zubair Corporation – developers and owners of the property, as well as Her Excellency Maitha Bint Saif Majed Al Mahrouqi, Oman’s Undersecretary of the Ministry of Tourism and local dignitaries.
In repositioning Shangri-La Al Husn Resort & Spa, Muscat, luxurious and highly personalised experiences through refreshed accommodation, dining and wellness facilities have been introduced. The cliff top property was previously promoted as part of the adjacent Shangri-La Barr Al Jissah Resort & Spa, Sultanate of Oman – an integrated destination resort comprising the family and leisure-focused Al Waha and Al Bandar hotels, which opened in February 2006.
References to Oman’s rich heritage begins from the moment of arrival at the palatial Al Husn – meaning ‘castle’ in Arabic. Guests are greeted by doormen in traditional Omani attire and treated to sparkling date juice and scented hand towels to freshen up. Chinese tea service is served in-room upon check-in.
Designed to reference the historic architecture of Omani forts – which can be seen in the courtyard features, arches, water installations and palm trees – the resort intends for guests to immerse themselves in its fusion of Moorish architecture in the style of the Alhambra Palace in Spain, as well as the timeless backdrop of the Gulf of Oman.
