Meliá Hotels International continues its expansion in the Middle East with the opening of Meliá Doha, the group’s first property in Qatar. Situated in Doha’s vibrant West Bay district and roughly a 10-minute drive from Hamad International Airport, the new five-star hotel offers 280 guest rooms and 37 suites designed for comfort and modern convenience.
“We are pleased to enter the dynamic Qatari market with Meliá Doha, the country’s first five-star Spanish hotel located in West Bay,” said Gabriel Escarrer, vice chairman and CEO of Meliá Hotels International. “The Middle East remains a strategic growth region for our company, and we expect strong demand from both business and leisure travelers as the market continues to develop.”
Meliá Doha presents a range of dining venues to suit varied tastes. Aceite Restaurant focuses on refined Indian cuisine, while Nidaaya All Day Dining features international dishes with live cooking stations. RiQQa serves as a contemporary coffee shop and boutique offering light bites, and Noir is a stylish cocktail bar ideal for evening drinks. For a relaxed atmosphere by the water, Le Pool Club provides casual snacks and beverages.
The hotel also includes wellness and leisure facilities to enhance guests’ stays. A well-equipped health club and state-of-the-art gym support fitness routines, and an outdoor pool offers a place to unwind. Together, these amenities aim to meet the needs of corporate travelers, families and vacationers looking for both convenience and hospitality in Doha’s central business and hospitality district.
With its central location in West Bay, proximity to the airport and a mix of culinary and leisure offerings, Meliá Doha strengthens Meliá Hotels International’s presence in the region and introduces the brand’s Spanish hospitality tradition to Qatar. The property is positioned to appeal to visitors seeking premium accommodation, varied dining experiences and modern facilities in one of Doha’s most active neighborhoods.
