Commenting on the recent opening, Martin Cramer, General Manager Oman for Millennium & Copthorne Hotels noted; “We’ve recently begun welcoming guests, and without any publicity have been pleasantly surprised with the demand, with visitors from Oman, the GCC and further afield. The hotel has already hosted a good number of events in the ballroom, which is the perfect setting for large scale conferences and weddings.
With sumptuously appointed rooms and suites alongside spacious apartments, exceptional dining options, family friendly recreational amenities and the largest conference facilities of any hotel in Oman, the Grand Millennium Muscat offers the best-mix of business and leisure with unmatched hospitality. In addition, the hotel is located close to the popular tourist spots of Muscat which are just a short drive away.”

We’re also working towards an official grand opening to be held before the end of the year. Thanks to our ideal central location, experienced management team, dedicated staff and the government’s initiatives to boost tourism in the Sultanate, we look forward to welcoming new guests and the residents of Muscat in the coming months.”
