Hilton Hotels Corporation signed a Management Agreement with the New Doha Hotels Company for the Hilton Doha Residence in Qatar, scheduled to open in the second quarter of 2012.
The 288-apartment residence, located in West Bay's business and diplomatic district, and close to the Corniche, will be Hilton's second property here following the Hilton Doha, which is currently under development.
"This signing is testament to the importance we place on sound relationships with our owners. We pride ourselves on strong owner relations, and are truly delighted to continue working with the New Doha Hotels Company on our second property in Qatar, an important development market for us. The government's initiative to boost the tourism sector in the region and raise the average length of stay from 1.5 to 4 days provides us with the perfect market opportunity to launch Hilton Doha Residence," said Ivor McBurney, Vice President, Development, Hilton Hotels, Middle East.
The residence will feature approximately 288 well-appointed studios, one, two and three-bedroom apartments. On-site facilities will include a restaurant, health club, outdoor swimming pool and car park.
