Honest review
Advice for anyone flying to Muscat for more than a couple of nights: book an apartment, not a room. Millennium Executive Apartments has 115 furnished flats with an ergonomic kitchen, cookware, an open-plan living room and a bathroom with a freestanding tub — easy to cook for yourself and live at your own pace.
Location settles half your questions: the complex stands in the centre of Al Khuwair as part of the new Tila development, connects directly to Muscat Grand Mall, and Oman Avenues with its 200-plus shops is a few minutes on foot. The Royal Opera House and the beaches are also within walking distance; the airport is 13 km away, the city centre 2.3 km.
If cooking doesn't appeal, M Flavors serves a buffet breakfast, with lunch and dinner à la carte. There is a pool and a gym for keeping in shape, and multifunctional conference rooms for business trips.
One thing worth knowing in advance: no smoking and no alcohol here — a deliberate part of a concept built on the values of Arab culture.
An optimal pick for longer stays, families and anyone mixing work with a holiday.
