LEVA Hotels & Resorts signed an agreement with the Golden Group Holding to manage two hotels in Muscat. It marks the debut of LEVA Hotels & Resorts in Oman. 

While the 85-room Safeer Continental Hotel will be reflagged as a four-star LEVA Hotel, the 61-keys Safeer Plaza Suites will be operated under LEVA’s three-star EKONO brand.

Sheikh Salim bin Ahmed Al Ghazali, Chairman, Golden Group Holding, said: “We are delighted to welcome the LEVA and EKONO brands to Oman and believe these are the perfect fit for our properties. It will allow us to diversify our brand portfolio while offering a new experience to guests.”

JS Anand, founder and chief executive officer of LEVA Hotels & Resorts, said: “Being a young hospitality group, it is a momentous milestone for us and will bolster our expansion across the GCC. We are confident the signing of this strategic agreement will open unprecedented opportunities for us as we see enormous potential for growth in the country in the upscale and mid-market sector.”

The two hotels enjoy a good location within walking distance to each other in the Madinat Al Sultan Qaboos district merely 15 minutes away from Muscat International Airport, 10-minute drive from Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque and Royal Opera House Muscat. The famous Qurum Beach and Muttrah Corniche are also in close vicinity to the properties.
