Millennium "First" in Doha, Qatar

<<In September of 2006>>, the Millennium Doha Hotel will open in the capital city of Qatar. Millennium`s new hotel in Do0ha will feature 250 rooms, spacious conference and meeting facilities, leisure facilities such as a health club and indoor pool, both of which will be located on the rooftop of the hotel. At lobby level there will be all-day dining and a rooftop terrace restaurant.

Among the rooms are: five Presidential Suites, seven Diplomatic Suites, seven Executive Suites and two floors of Executive Club rooms with exclusive access to a Club Lounge. For longer-stay guests, the hotel will provide several one and two-bedroom apartments.

The hotel is located in the diplomatic and commercial area of the city adjacent to a park and a major new shopping mall. The capital of Qatar, Doha is situated halfway down the east coast of the peninsula. It is an important cultural and commercial center.

The Millennium Hotel Doha is the group`s first hotel in Qatar. The hotel is owned by the Al-Sraiya Group.

This really doesn't look like it could be a fancy hotel. And I can't imagine where would they fit the 250 rooms in there

That road has so far two five star hotels, Grand Regency and this one Mellenium. Al-Sadd will has two, Merweb and La Cigale. So, glad to know that hotels are spread out more evenly instead of all in West Bay.

^^ Did u say Grand Regency? Where is it at?

in front of the roundabout.

I believe this is the Grand Regency, on the left. It was UC at that time.

Grand Regency and Millenium look so much alike. Anybody thinks so too?

^^ Yes, I think they look so much alike, but the Millennium is a bit more modern--while the Grand Regency is a little classic.

^^ Yup. I agree...

They are very similar

Today's Pics from the site!

So far Ramada and Movenpick....
These are still under construction: Millenium, Hilton, W Hotel, La Cigale, Rotana, Shangri La, Merweb, Mariott...

Went there today... You were right Suzan, it really does look so "chique"! :D
The building's color with the lighting really gives it a nice look...
The entrance looked so good and there was also an area outside for sitting (part of a cafe or bar?) which looked neat too...

Sorry, didn't take a pic 'cause I knew it would have turned out to look bad in the dark!

انزين ليش معصب ؟؟
