Hotel · Al Bustan, Muscat, Oman
Al Bustan Palace is the most storied hotel in Oman — a 1985 landmark built by Sultan Qaboos to host world leaders and heads of state, and now one of the finest Ritz-Carlton properties in the world. The hotel's extraordinary architecture — a vast atrium rising 38 metres beneath a gilded dome, flanked by mountains on one side and the Gulf of Oman on the other — is unlike anything else in the Arabian Peninsula. The 250-room property has been meticulously restored, and its private beach, multiple pools, and the Ritz-Carlton Spa make it the most complete luxury hotel in Muscat.
