Hyatt Hotels Corporation has announced that a Hyatt affiliate has entered into a management agreement with Al Mirqab Tourist Company to debut the Andaz brand in Qatar. 

 

The 318-room Andaz Doha is expected to open in fall 2022, at the same time football fans around the world will turn their eyes to Qatar. The hotel will mark the fourth Hyatt hotel in the country. 

 

Andaz means 'personal style' in Hindi. Every Andaz property stands out as an elevated reflection of the culture that surrounds it – capturing the best of local design and cuisine – while delivering thoughtful, unscripted service.

 

The hotel will be located in the West Bay area of Doha, nestled amongst embassies, consulates and government institutions. Situated within close proximity to a cosmopolitan blend of restaurants, residential and retail space, the hotel will cater to travellers searching for the best of local culture. 

 

It will feature four food and beverage outlets offering a wide range from local flavors to international dishes while creating a vibrant social scene. All dining options will boast modern design. 

 

Hyatt’s Dubai-based regional vice president of development, Middle East and Africa Ludwig Bouldoukian said: “We are honoured to announce plans for the Andaz brand in Qatar in our second collaboration with Al Mirqab Group as part of our expanding brand presence in the country. Doha is a thriving hub for our lifestyle offerings and Andaz Doha is poised to become one of the city’s innovative destinations. 

 

"Looking forward, Qatar will continue to remain a key focus for Hyatt as we build our pipeline across the Middle East in destinations that matter to our guests. With its burgeoning luxury and lifestyle sector, Qatar will continue to represent an important market for Hyatt.” 

 

Al Mirqab Tourist Company Chairman Jabor Bin Hamad JJ Al Thani said: “Andaz Doha will provide signature touchpoints designed to elevate the senses through meaningful and regionally distinctive guest offerings to today’s luxury traveller looking to immerse themselves into Qatar’s culture. 

 

“Sharing a vision with Hyatt to create experiences that showcase Qatar’s authentic character for locals as well as guests from all over the world is what will set us apart.”  

 

Andaz Doha will mark the third Andaz branded hotel in the Middle East, building on the UAE properties, Andaz Capital Gate, Abu Dhabi and Andaz Dubai The Palm. The hotel will add to Hyatt’s existing portfolio of properties in Qatar; joining Hyatt Regency Oryx Doha, Park Hyatt Doha and Grand Hyatt Doha Hotels and Villas.-TradeArabia News Service
