Expected To Open in 2019, Property Will Join Middle Eastern Conrad Destinations in Dubai, Cairo, Istanbul
and Makkah
Conrad Hotels & Resorts,
Hilton Worldwide's
(NYSE: HLT) luxury
hotel portfolio for the new smart luxury traveller, today 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.”
Qatar is
seeing major growth to its infrastructure, in advance of the 2022
Football World Cup and its ambition to become a major hub for business,
industry and tourism within the
Middle East.
Hilton
Worldwide already operates Hilton Doha, as well as the recently opened
DoubleTree by Hilton Doha – Old Town and expects to increase its Qatari
portfolio with a further seven
projects currently under development, including the region’s first
Curio, a Collection by Hilton hotel expected to open later this year at
the Mall of Qatar.
Dr.
Mohammed Aba Al-Khail, CEO of Assets Real Estate Development Company,
said, “Hilton’s reputation in the Middle East as a leading luxury hotel
operator affirms our strategy to
position Conrad Doha as a world-class hotel. We are delighted to be
working with Hilton, with their more than 55 years’ of hospitality
management experience in the region, and renowned global brands.”
Conrad
Hotels & Resorts is present in inspired destinations around the
world, including Dubai, Hong Kong, London, and New York. Eight new
Conrad hotels will open in 2016 (including
Conrad Makkah, slated to open in summer of 2016), and a further 23
hotels are currently under development.
Conrad Doha will offer the popular
Conrad Concierge
mobile app, which gives global luxury travelers
the ability to customize details of their hotel stay before, during,
and after each visit via a smartphone or tablet. Whether it's
pre-selecting bath amenities or checking-in while in-transit from the
airport, guests can access a variety of features by using
the app.
