Omran`s much-talked about W Hotel was announced in 2011 as part of the InterContinental Muscat redevelopment plan. Initially, the redevelopment plan included construction of three Starwood Hotels - W Hotel, Westin and Element.
After the launch of the W, the InterContinental Muscat was to be knocked down and replaced with the 350-room Westin and a 100-room extended-stay Element property. W Hotel will have 290 rooms, along with a speciality restaurant, an all-day dining restaurant, an infinity pool, spas for men and women. Other facilities include a fitness centre, pool rooms, retail facilities, swimming pool, tennis court, taxi parking, staff facilities and a total of 350 car park spaces.
