Conrad set to debut smart luxury in Doha, Qatar

Conrad Hotels & Resorts, Hilton Worldwide's luxury hotel portfolio for the new smart luxury traveller, announced the signing of a management agreement with Assets Real Estate Development Company for the 325 guestroom Conrad Doha, expected to open in early 2019.


Carlos Khneisser, vice president of development, Middle East & North Africa, said, "Momentum for growth in Qatar's hospitality offering continues at a strong rate, owing to the significant focus being put on the country's future as a truly international destination, in line with Qatar's 2030 Vision. We are delighted to have confirmed our latest Conrad hotel for the region, which joins a selection of prestigious properties in outstanding destinations worldwide." Conrad Doha will occupy a prime location in a rapidly evolving business area of the city and will be easily connected to the main C-Ring Road, which leads to the downtown area and the new Hamad International Airport (DOH). Comprising 295 guestrooms and 30 suites the hotel will also offer almost 1,000 square metres of events space including a Grand Ballroom for corporate events and social occasions. Guests will be able to enjoy luxurious spa and fitness facilities, as well as an outdoor swimming pool.

Dining options will include seven restaurants and bars, offering diners upscale culinary experiences. John T.A. Vanderslice, global head, Conrad Hotels & Resorts, said, "As we have expanded Conrad's global footprint, so has the brand's awareness. We encourage our guests to never just stay, but stay inspired, whether it's via the Conrad 1/3/5 local experiences or the App-enabled personalized service guests can access while on-property through the digital Conrad Concierge. We now feature 24 destinations globally, and with our expansion into Qatar we fully expect the brand to resonate strongly with travellers to this rapidly evolving Gulf country."
