Hyatt has debuted Andaz, its lifestyle brand, in Qatar with the opening of Andaz Doha, making it the fourth Hyatt brand in the city.
Located in West Bay, less than a 20-minute drive from Hamad International Airport, Andaz Doha offers a window to explore the city’s wonders and cultural attractions including City Center Doha Mall, the Doha Exhibition & Convention Center (DECC), Souq Waqif, Katara Cultural Centre and more. The hotel features 256 guestrooms, which includes 32 suites and 4 Royal suites, as well as 56 residences for guests seeking long-term stays, varying from one to three bedrooms. The property will have three distinctive dining concepts – The Salt Road Doha, which is now officially open, as well as Mr. & Mrs. Hawker and Mumble Jungle, which are set to open in the coming months. Andaz Doha represents Qatari culture, celebrating the city’s authenticity through unique luxury touchpoints. A sophisticated colour palette of gold, rose gold and bronze throughout represents the region’s wealth and contributions to art while the maroon honours the Qatari flag. Designed by Brime Robbins, Andaz Doha offers 312 rooms, suites and residences spread across 26 floors. Sea or city views are available, with spacious 19 square metre bathrooms including a separate bath and shower. All rooms include a mini bar as well as eco-friendly amenities. Guests will encounter patterned cushions designed with the Qatari weaving technique, ‘Al Sadu’, iridescent orbs, locally sourced stone and kaleidoscopic shapes. Andaz Doha’s culinary offerings draw inspiration from across the globe, ranging from South African cooking-inspired concepts to Asian fare. Officially open now, The Salt Road Doha is located in the lobby and explores the vital ingredient ‘salt’, one of the earth's oldest minerals. Set to open in the coming months, Mr. & Mrs. Hawker will draw from the concept of a Singaporean Hawker Center to feature a market-to-table philosophy. The dining options will also include the only enclosed outdoor terrace in Doha, with city and sea views. Expected to launch later this year, Mumble Jungle nods to a rainforest aesthetic to feature an assortment of vibrant cocktails and mocktails, inspired by Afro-Cuban classic creations. Alara Spa, meaning ‘water fairy’ in Arabic, is focused on the Hammam bathing ritual. Featuring six treatment rooms with separate male and female areas, a herbal sauna, steam rooms and multi-sensory showers, Alara Spa’s menu features a selection of wellness rituals, face treatments, body scrubs and soothing massages, all of which incorporate ancient customs with contemporary practices. The property offers various facilities for business and leisure travel. On the ground floor sits the Andaz Lounge, a space for productive workflow or private meetings. The hotel also features 1,600 square metres of meeting and event spaces, including a 750-square-metre ballroom. * Find Andaz Doha on stand HC1510
