Why Book at IntercityHotel Bawsher
If connectivity ranks high among your preferences when booking a property, then this hotel fits the bill. But with central locations (which also grant the ‘easy accessibility to top destinations’ tag on booking sites) often come the familiar hustle-bustle of city crowds – something many of us would prefer to avoid. This is precisely the aspect that this business-cum-leisure hotel skillfully tackles. Strategically located along the Muscat Expressway, making it hard to miss, InterCityHotel Bawsher offers a serene and tranquil setting, making it an ideal choice for those seeking a city retreat or a quiet haven during a business trip.
About the Brand
H World International’s fourth IntercityHotel-branded property in the Sultanate, IntercityHotel Bawsher, embraces the core ethos of the brand – convenience, comfort, and a design-centric approach. With its German origins, the hotel adheres to rigorous operational standards while maintaining a keen focus on hospitality. At the same time, it also subtly infuses elements of Oman’s rich heritage into its elegant décor, intricately blending traditional touches with contemporary design, creating a space that is both refined and exceptionally inviting.
The Experience
Walking into the lobby provides evidence that IntercityHotel Bawsher caters to both business travellers (complete with busy expressions and laptops) as well as families enjoying a weekend getaway. The aroma of freshly baked delights from The Breakery lingers in the lounge, tempting you to sneak a bite of the famed Berliner. The cozy lobby is flanked by the beaming reception staff on one side and The Gourmet Room, an all-day-dining restaurant, on the other. The hotel’s fascination and affinity to natural light is immediately apparent with its floor-to-ceiling windows, a feature that extends throughout the property.
To suit the preferences of its varying guests, the hotel offers four room categories – the Deluxe Suite, Accessible King Room, Standard Twin Room, and Standard King Room, each providing views of the pool, the city, or the mountains. For larger families, the one-bedroom interconnected rooms have proven to be a popular choice.
While the spacious and comfortable rooms are something that the property takes great pride in, another standout feature is the rooftop pool. Presenting a scenic view of the city with the distant mountains forming a picturesque backdrop, this is a perfect spot for a little relaxation, even if you’re not planning to take a dip.
Adjacent to the pool is the gym, which takes special care to ensure that you continue to enjoy the same panoramic views even while working out. With state-of-the-art equipment, stunning views, and the option of a dedicated trainer, it’s an inspiring setup to push a little harder (exactly what you need in a gym).
As one explores this property, an undeniably interesting attribute that surfaces is the sense of openness achieved through broad corridors, minimalist aesthetics, and open terraces. These elements provide intimate spaces for guests to find their own quiet niche.
