Expectation launch in Q4 2011 with the opening of Al Gassar Resort Residences and St. Regis Hotel
Doha, Qatar: Excitement is building across Qatar as more details emerge about the iconic Al Gassar Resort that is set to open in 2011.
Since work began on the development three years ago, the development's distinctive towers, unique architecture and fantastic waterfront location were immediately considered as a landmark destination sparking excitement across Qatar as this amazing development continuously evolved during its different project stages.
Now, as the luxury development counts down to its opening, set for the end of 2011, more details are emerging about Al Gassar Resort. The St. Regis Doha - the centrepiece hotel for the resort, renowned for its reputation in providing the highest levels of luxury service, will be exhibiting at this year's Arabian Travel Market in Dubai, which runs from 2-5 May 2011. The St. Regis Doha - which is already receiving positive reviews across the travel trade industry, prides itself on its distinguished characteristics; privilege, authenticity and originality.
Alongside the magnificent St. Regis Doha, is the residential element of the Al Gassar Resort consisting of three grand towers, offering a unique living experience to residences that reflects the luxury services offered by the famous St. Regis Hotel.
Mohamed Sleiman, Assistant Chief Operating Officer for Resorts Development Company, the company behind the development of the Al Gassar Resort, said: "With the Al Gassar Resort, we are building an entirely new luxury destination for Qatar, which will bring together the unique hospitality traditions of St. Regis Hotels with the luxury hotel-like service that will be offered in the Al Gassar Resort Residents. We've invested a huge amount of time and energy in refining the exterior and facilities of this incredible resort, and we believe it will be an iconic destination when the development opens its doors in late 2011."
Demand for residential space in Qatar has grown significantly in 2011, driven in part by the increase in the number of businesses looking to expand in one of the world's most dynamic economies. The promise of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar - which it is estimated will drive US$100 billion worth of projects and investments between now and 2022 - is adding to demand for residential space.
Situated in Doha's premium real estate area, directly at the waterfront with breathtaking views of the Arabian Gulf, the development of Al Gassar Resort can be seen from almost all directions in the city. Al Gassar Resort enjoys close proximity to the key business hubs of Qatar, including the West Bay Business District and Doha Exhibition Centre, and is equally close to a number of premier leisure areas such as the Katara Cultural Village, The Pearl Qatar and Doha City Centre. However, the developers believe that the real attraction of the Resort will be the enviable lifestyle supported by the facilities and unparalled services provided for residents and guests. The Al Gassar Resort has been designed to become a major social hub in Qatar, and the preferred choice for residents looking for a hotel-style living experience and customized service in their own home.
With a range of executive apartments available, from business bachelor quarters through to opulent family spaces with as many as five bedrooms, the Al Gassar Resort will provide choice and value as well as unmatched luxury.
Leisure facilities include a large pool with sunbathing area, tennis courts, landscaped gardens, children's area and a fully-equipped gym. There will also be a selection of restaurants on-site, dedicated to providing room and restaurant services, and a range of shops and service counters.
