The Golden Tulip Nizwa offers 120 rooms including three suites, a restaurant, bar, swimming pool, gymnasium and a ballroom, accommodating up to 400 persons and equipped with modern facilities.

Located some one hour by road from Seeb Airport (Muscat), the Golden Tulip Nizwa is ideal for both business and leisure travellers. The hotel is a short distance from Nizwa city and located amid spectacular nature providing an ideal departure point for adventure tours into Oman's countryside. The spectacular mountains and villages around the Golden Tulip Nizwa give guests a taste of the true flavour of the country.

Mr. Nasser Bin Khamis Al Hashar, Chairman of Interior Hotels, states: "The hotel is located close to the brown Hajar mountain ranges and Nizwa, once Oman's capital. We are confident that Golden Tulip will add considerable value to our property though its existing network of hotels in Oman and the Middle East."

Mr Hans Kennedie, President & CEO of Golden Tulip, adds: "I am very happy with this new addition to our portfolio. Golden Tulip entered the Sultanate of Oman in 2003 and is happy to welcome its third hotel to the portfolio. The award-winning Golden Tulip Resort Khasab has set the standard for the level of hospitality our brand represents in the Sultanate of Oman and we are confident that the Golden Tulip Nizwa will contribute to this standard."

Mr Amine Moukarzel, Golden Tulip's Managing Director Middle East & North Africa, comments: "The Golden Tulip Nizwa is a fantastic addition to our family of Golden Tulip hotels. Thanks to the board of directors and the management team of the Golden Tulip Nizwa and together with the Golden Tulip Resort Khasab and the Golden Tulip Seeb Muscat Airport we can now offer Oman's visitors a range of destinations and a true taste of the flavours offered by the Sultanate."

Including the Golden Tulip Nizwa, Golden Tulip's portfolio in the Middle East & North Africa comprises 17 hotels in Egypt, Jordan, Oman, Saudi Arabia, Tunisia and the United Arab Emirates.
