Shaza Hotels, an independent five-star luxury hotel operator, recently hosted the grand opening of its Mysk flagship hotel in Al Mouj, Muscat.

The event, held under the auspices of Shihab Bin Tariq Al Said, Advisor to His Majesty the Sultan and chairman of the Research Council, was organized by the Golden Group Holding, one of the leading groups in the field of hotel investments and the owners of the hotel.
 
The grand opening celebrations commenced with a local band performing Omani folklore while VVIP guests graced the red carpet in the presence of the president, top management of Shaza Hotels and Mysk by Shaza.

A ribbon cutting ceremony was held after which Simon Coombs, president of Shaza Hotels, and Sheikh Salim Bin Ahmed Al Ghazali, chairman of Golden Group Holding addressed the crowds. The grand opening was attended by several senior officials, heads of diplomatic missions in the sultanate and Omani businessmen.

Speaking about Mysk Al Mouj, Coombs said: “It is a matter of great privilege and honour for me as the chief executive officer of Shaza Hotels to stand before you today and to welcome you to the opening of our first Mysk by Shaza. We are privileged to associate with the Golden Group Holding and its chairman, Sheikh Salem Al Ghazali, in developing this hotel. Al Mouj is a very unique development that has rapidly acquired recognition for an outstanding Marina lifestyle, its integrated community, and leisure experiences all within this mixed-use environment. May we also extend our heartfelt gratitude to the CEO of Al Mouj, Nasser bin Masoud al Sheibani for supporting this hotel and its development. Shaza Hotels bring a head turning product to the already rich flavour of hospitality in Oman, clearly demonstrating our growth ambitions in Oman where we currently have three hotels.”

Al Ghazali added: “The opening of Mysk Hotel by Shaza will surely add to the Muscat branded hotels' inventory and to the tourism sector in the sultanate in general.”

“The opening of the hotel coincides with the commercial launch of the Muscat International Airport which will create a qualitative leap in the number of flights coming to the Sultanate. This requires doubling of residences and hotel services,” he said.

The flagship opening of Mysk by Shaza Hotels in Muscat, comes in line with the rapid growth in tourism witnessed by the sultanate over the past years and the building of many infrastructure projects and services. Situated in the bustling Al Mouj Muscat Marina and close to the Muscat International Airport, Mysk is an upscale hotel with 195 rooms and suites equipped with the latest technology. A contemporary brand that is inspired by Arabic culture and ancient Omani history, the hotel has four restaurants, a business center, multi-use halls with modern amenities, a swimming pool with a magnificent view overlooking the marina, and a center for recreation and fitness. - TradeArabia News Service
