Hamad International Airport (HIA) in Doha, Qatar, has unveiled two of its latest state-of-the-art facilities -- The Airport Hotel and Vitality Spa.

Located in the south node of the airport, the 100-room The Airport Hotel and Vitality Spa offer passengers passing through HIA superb services and great flexibility depending upon their travel needs and schedules.

The Airport Hotel is designed to meet the needs of all global and regional travellers who can book a room package for as long or as short a stay as they require. They can also just drop in to the Vitality Spa for a swim in the 25-metre swimming pool or to enjoy a massage.

The Vitality Spa also offers a full-service gym equipped with cardiovascular machines and the support of a personal instructor, as well as two squash courts.

Badr Al Meer, HIA chief operating officer, said: “The opening of The Airport Hotel and Vitality Spa is another important milestone for Hamad International Airport. We are delighted that we can now offer our passengers this sophisticated facility that has been designed with careful consideration of their requirements while they are our guests in Doha.”

Philippe Anric, The Airport Hotel general manager, added: “We are delighted that The Airport Hotel is now officially open for business. Our focus at the hotel is to offer the very best hospitality experience to all our guests whether they are staying with us for one hour or one day. We look forward to welcoming passengers to The Airport Hotel where excellent customer service will always remain our number one priority.”

Guests can choose from superior, deluxe and executive rooms or executive suites, which can be booked for 0-3, 3-6, 6-12 or 12-24 hours, giving them the opportunity to rest in between flights or to use the room as a base while they explore the boutiques and restaurants spread over 40,000 sq m at HIA.

HIA hosts more than 70 retail outlets offering a wide selection of designer labels, high street fashion, electronics and gourmet foods, as well as over 30 cafés and restaurants. - TradeArabia News Service
