Frankfurt am Main / Muscat, Oman, February 5, 2026 | Hilton (NYSE: HLT) has opened three hotels in Barr Al Jissah. The coastal region near Muscat is renowned for its natural beauty.

Nestled between the Al Jissah cliffs and the Gulf of Oman, the resorts offer a blend of family-friendly options, vibrant event spaces, and luxurious experiences. The properties are owned by The Zubair Corporation and are located just 40 minutes from Muscat International Airport. Their opening marks a new chapter of world-class hospitality along Oman's coast.

Guy Hutchinson, President, Middle East & Africa, Hilton, said: “As the travel and tourism industry in Oman continues to flourish, we are proud to open these three hotels in Barr Al Jissah, the country's renowned seaside resort. We look forward to contributing to its success with our portfolio of world-class brands and global network. Together with The Zubair Corporation, we aim to strengthen Oman's position as a leading travel destination, supporting the country's Vision 2040 goal of attracting 11 million visitors annually and fostering sustainable growth in the sector.”

Niels Bormans, Group Chief Executive Officer of The Zubair Corporation, added: “Today is a milestone for Barr Al Jissah and for Oman's entire hospitality sector. We are delighted to officially welcome Hilton as the new operator of the Barr Al Jissah Resorts, and we are confident that their global experience, operational excellence, and shared commitment to quality will further enhance the three hotels. This partnership reflects our belief that long-term value can be created through first-class collaborations that promote tourism growth and talent development – fully in line with the objectives of Oman Vision 2040.”

The three hotels in Barr Al Jissah each offer a unique yet complementary experience:

The Al Husn Hotel Muscat combines luxury with Omani heritage, creating a place of tranquility on the coast. With its 180 guest rooms and suites, all offering unobstructed views of the Gulf of Oman, the hotel is the perfect place for couples, honeymooners, and discerning travelers seeking privacy, serenity, and refined luxury. The property's design is inspired by an Omani fortress, symbolically towering over the rest of the destination. Exclusive amenities include a private beach, an infinity pool, and a spa area. Following renovations planned for 2027, the Al Husn Hotel Muscat will be part of the Waldorf Astoria luxury brand.

The Hilton Muscat Al Bandar is the lifestyle and business hub of Barr Al Jissah. With its state-of-the-art indoor and outdoor event spaces – including a ballroom for up to 850 guests, expansive outdoor event areas, and a dedicated amphitheater – it is a premier venue for weddings, corporate, and large-scale events. At the heart of the 198-room hotel are the vibrant “La Jolla” pool bar and a selection of restaurants and lounges.

The DoubleTree by Hilton Muscat Al Waha offers a relaxed and family-friendly experience, entirely focused on comfort and starting with the famous DoubleTree chocolate chip cookie welcome. The resort features 302 spacious guest rooms and suites. Its architecture reflects the charm of an Omani village, creating an authentic and welcoming ambiance. Perfect for family vacations, it boasts multiple pools, a waterslide, and access to shared facilities within Barr Al Jissah.

The three hotels share the extensive leisure, dining, and recreational facilities of the Barr Al Jissah complex, allowing guests a seamless stay at this destination. Shared leisure facilities include several swimming pools, tennis courts, a lazy river, and a private beach over 500 meters long. Guests can also enjoy various water sports such as kayaking and diving. A PADI-certified dive center offers courses for all experience levels. Wellness enthusiasts will appreciate the resort's spa facilities, including “The Spa,” featuring treatments inspired by the Omani rose, and the “Luban Spa,” known for its use of frankincense.
