"Radisson Blu Hotel, Soharis is the perfect addition to our portfolio of great destinations for international guests, especially business travellers.
"With a stunning location surrounded by pristine beaches, gorgeous views over the city and sea, proximity to the port, extraordinary bars and restaurants, wellness center, and so much more – we have something to delight every guest in Sohar.
"We are looking forward to welcoming our loyal corporate clients, meetings & events customers, and Radisson Blu global fans to this exciting city on the Gulf of Oman," said Radisson Blu Hotel Sohar general manager Francois Galoisy, who moved from Dubai in 2014 to join the hotel's pre-opening team.
The hotel has three restaurants and bars; this includes all-day dining Al Zafaran Restaurant, the hotel’s signature restaurant Amaranthai which serves Thai and Chinese cuisine, as well as Al Khaimah roof top bar with a shisha terrace and Aqua Bar.
“Sohar enjoys a unique strategic business location, halfway between the Omani and the UAE capital – and we are proud to showcase our Radisson Blu hospitality here. Sohar is also an ideal stopover for leisure travellers, en-route between Muscat, Dubai and Abu Dhabi,” said Mark Willis, area vice president of the Middle East & Turkey for The Rezidor Hotel Group.
“Sohar is the new economic power of Oman, encompassing an industrial port, a free zone, an industrial estate and a domestic airport with a freight train terminal in the pipeline, all of which helps position the destination and our hotel brand.”
