Muscat – Marg Hotels and Resorts (Kochi) took over operations of Golden Tulip Headington Ruwi recently with the promise of a better guest experience.
Opened in 2017 in the heart of Ruwi, the four-star property has 118 rooms, a café, restaurant, boardroom, spa, health club, rooftop swimming pool, banquet halls and other facilities.
Some of the areas the new management will look into are revamping its menus, visibility in social media and access to the hotel.
“We are pleased to be here in Oman – our first overseas project – with extensive experience of about 45 years in hotel operations. We aim to elevate Golden Tulip Headington to the No 1 spot among four-star hotels in Muscat for its food, accommodation and business activities, for which we have set several plans and promotions,” said Vijay Cherian, managing director for Marg Hotels and Resorts.
Ullas Verghese, the newly appointed general manager, added, “We have four categories of rooms – Standard, Deluxe, Plaza Suite and Headington Suite. All rooms are equipped with modern facilities required by any kind of traveller – leisure or business. We have always had positive reviews from guests who share their stay experience on TripAdvisor, Google reviews and online travel apps like Booking.com, Agoda, Expedia, Hotel Beds.”
Verghese informed that the new management plans to introduce weekend staycation packages and food festivals.
“We also have four banquet halls – with capacity ranging from 20 to 700 people – available to a wide range of events. All halls are well equipped with sophisticated facilities for meetings, conferences, engagements, weddings, birthday parties, kitty parties etc.”
Though the hotel’s Symphony Restaurant focuses on authentic Omani food, it also serves other international cuisine. Near future plans include food festivals, including one for Onam, the annual harvest festival of the southern Indian state of Kerala.
“Special packages will be made for Onam Sadya in the restaurant on Onam Day. A payasam fest will start at the end of this month,” said Verghese.
