With so many hotel rooms being added to Doha’s skyline, can Accor be far behind? The group has signed a management agreement with AlBaker Investments to develop a new Sofitel hotel in West Bay, Doha, Qatar. The 4,200-room luxury hotel is expected to open in 2019.

Olivier Granet, managing director and chief operating officer of AccorHotels Middle East, said: 'Sofitel has become a key player in the luxury and upscale segment of the hospitality industry and the new Sofitel Doha West Bay will broaden the scope of our offering in one of the region’s key markets.'

The Sofitel Doha West Bay will be strategically located in front of City Center Doha Mall, offering easy access to the capital’s main commercial and shopping districts. The hotel will be uniquely designed to reflect a modern and contemporary aesthetic.

Sofitel Hotels and Resorts offers luxury hotels with a difference, that combine French origin – a unique combination of elegance, savoir-faire and the art of hospitality– with the best of local culture in each country. With this in mind, guests staying at the Sofitel Doha West Bay will be able to enjoy a wide range of restaurants with unique and unconventional restaurant and lounge concepts in addition to a rooftop bar and a lounge with panoramic views over the city. The property will also offer tailor-made meeting facilities, swimming pools, a SO Fit and a SO Spa.

AccorHotels has two existing properties in Qatar, in addition to six others under development.
