Mövenpick Hotels & Resorts will open its third property in Doha on May 1, taking over the luxurious Victorian-style building currently occupied by Grand Heritage Hotel Doha. Located in the city’s internationally-renowned Aspire Zone, also known as Doha Sports City, the upscale 139-room Mövenpick Hotel Al Aziziyah Doha is an ideal accommodation for corporate groups staging events at the nearby Qatar National Convention Centre.

“This property already has a loyal guest following and we look forward to building on this legacy, showcasing Mövenpick’s unique style of Swiss hospitality,” says Andreas Mattmüller, chief operating officer, Mövenpick Hotels & Resorts Middle East and South Asia.

Highlights of the five-star Mövenpick Hotel Al Aziziyah Doha include an eclectic dining offering, ranging from the traditional Victoria Tea Lounge to contemporary Turkish restaurant Agora, and the elegant international outlet Blue, famed for its sushi, steaks and a scenic park view. There’s also a luxury spa with six treatment rooms, a fitness centre and indoor pool, plus five function rooms.

Mövenpick already operates Mövenpick Hotel Doha and Mövenpick Hotel West Bay Doha, and the third property will take the Swiss hospitality firm’s total Qatar inventory to more than 640 keys. www.movenpick.com
