Msheireb Properties picks Hyatt to operate 5-star hotel in flagship development

Msheireb Hospitality, a subsidiary of Msheireb Properties, announced today that it has appointed Hyatt Hotel Corporation to manage one of the four hotels in its flagship Msheireb Downtown Doha project.

Park Hyatt Doha will be a distinctive five-star hotel, located within the heart of the business district of Msheireb Downtown while maintaining excellent access to the airport and Doha’s other business districts. 

Msheireb Downtown, the world's first sustainable urban regeneration project, will regenerate 31 hectares site in the historical heart of Doha. The project aims to transform the old commercial and business district into the vibrant, cohesive and culturally alive city centre that it once was.

A US $5.5 billion multipurpose development, Msheireb aims to change the way people live and work in an urban environment. Through the project, Msheireb Properties is setting new standards for urban regeneration in hot and arid countries around the globe. The company will accomplish this challenging vision by creating a total neighbourhood regeneration focused on sustainable lifestyles.

Abdul Aziz Al Emadi, CEO of Msheireb Hospitality said: “We are delighted to work with Hyatt Hotel Corporation, the world's leading hotel brand. Hyatt shares our passion in creating a new hub in this part of the city, which integrates the best elements of Doha’s historical heritage with innovative facilities.

“Like other Park Hyatt hotels around the world, Park Hyatt Doha, will provide an unparalleled experience of elegance and contemporary luxury. Our strategy is to introduce innovative and integrated hospitality products that will enrich the hospitality sector in Doha and contribute to the broader vision of the country; supporting the tourism industry to promote Qatar as an international tourist destination.” 

Peter Norman, Senior Vice President, Acquisitions and Development, Hyatt International Europe, Africa and Middle East, said: “Park Hyatt Doha will further our goal of being the preferred brand for global travellers, and will enhance the presence of Hyatt-branded hotels in the Middle East.”
