June 19, 2006 at 10:54 AM | 0 Comments

Striking while the iron is hot, W Hotels has announced their plans for a second Middle Eastern hotel--The W Doha Hotel & Residences, which are scheduled to be completed by the end of 2007.

W Doha will feature 292 guest rooms, including 31 suites and 154 W Residences, multiple signature restaurants, a poolside outdoor shisha lounge, champagne bar, event space, and luxury retail space.

The W Doha will offer the Living Room experience the brand is known for, creating a place where guests and the local community can socialize, poolside lounge areas and spectacular views of the Arabian Gulf.

The design team behind U2's The Clarence Hotel in Dublin and the Metropolitan Hotel in London, United Designers, will be creating the setting for W Doha.

Earlier this year, W presented their plans for W Dubai Festival City which will open later in 2008. We expect that aloft Hotels won't be too far behind.
