IHG Hotels & Resorts has revealed plans to launch its luxury lifestyle brand, Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants, in Qatar. This development marks the brand’s first appearance in the country.
The new Kimpton property is scheduled to open in Doha in 2024. The hotel will feature 282 rooms and suites, as well as a selection of dining options, a rooftop pool, and wellness facilities. The property will be located in the West Bay area of Doha, a district known for its commercial and residential significance.
Haitham Mattar, Managing Director, India, Middle East & Africa at IHG Hotels & Resorts, stated, “We are delighted to introduce the Kimpton brand to Qatar, bringing its unique approach to luxury hospitality to Doha. This opening reflects our commitment to expanding our luxury and lifestyle portfolio in key markets across the region.”
The Kimpton brand is recognized for its distinctive design, personalized guest experiences, and a focus on culinary offerings. The Doha hotel will join IHG’s global network of Kimpton properties, which includes locations in cities such as London, Paris, and Bangkok.
IHG Hotels & Resorts currently operates several brands in Qatar, including InterContinental, Crowne Plaza, and Holiday Inn. The addition of Kimpton is part of the company’s broader strategy to enhance its luxury and lifestyle presence in the Middle East.
