IHG Opens InterContinental Doha Residences

InterContinental Hotels Group has expanded its portfolio of properties in the Middle East with the opening of InterContinental Doha Residences, under a management agreement with Gulf Hotels Company WLL.

Located on Doha’s longest natural private beach, the new property brings a total of 82 luxury residences to Doha, comprising 17 three-bedroom villas - three of which overlook the Persian Gulf, eight three-bedroom apartments, and 15 two-bedroom apartments. The remaining residences consist of 42 one-bedroom apartments.

The property connects to the InterContinental Doha hotel to give residents a choice of facilities both on-site and nearby.

In addition to access to the private beach and swimming pools overlooking the Persian Gulf, residents can enjoy a host of other exclusive benefits such as beach club services and a personalised concierge. The residences also feature restaurants and bars, as well as the brand’s Spa InterContinental.

Residents can keep active and unwind using the state-of-the-art gym and health club facilities, or go head-to-head on one of the tennis or squash courts. With a children’s playground, business centre and housekeeping services, InterContinental Doha Residences offers a full package of amenities and services.

Pascal Gauvin, Chief Operating Officer, India, Middle East and Africa, IHG, said, “We are thrilled to be working with Gulf Hotels Company WLL to manage this great property and bring unparalleled luxury living to a city that is flourishing both economically and as a travel destination. Qatar is a key city for our strategic footprint in the region. We expect to grow by over 40% (by number of rooms) over the next 3 to 5 years as we open the 25 hotels (9,658 rms) in our pipeline in the Middle East; the InterContinental brand is a significant part of this pipeline. This latest opening is a testament to the strength of the brand which celebrates its 70th anniversary globally this year.”
