Le Méridien Doha is a perfect compliment to our footprint in the region, said Roeland Vos, President of the Europe Africa and Middle East Division of Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide. This new project is not only illustrative of Le Méridien's core values, but also represents a perfect addition to Starwood's ever-expanding presence in the Middle East.”

We are convinced that Le Méridien is the perfect brand for this project and, as the flagship brand, we are confident that Le Méridien Doha will successfully position itself uniquely among the leading business hotels in Qatar, added Al Mana.”

[Halawala]

Could it be the hotel next to the Hilton?

[Qatar Son 333]

that location facing nothing but the sea and safliyah island is just astonishing ! a hotel there would really be cool

[Halawala]

Too many hotels in that area, I think. They should develope other parts of the city like Al-Rayyan or something.

[Qatar Son 333]

yes in a million years ! if they finish the roads and renew the current crazy roads then yeah it might be possible to builf in those lands and perhaps develope retail and commercial areas to get some life out of doha

Le Meridien Hotel, Doha is an iconic and elegantly proportioned 60 storey tower that provides 77,500m2 of built up area.

The tower is both dynamic and elegant, rising 230 meters above the ground, providing 249 keys of hotel rooms & suites and 66 serviced apartments within a ground site area of approximately 3000 m2. Also provided are 2,100 m2 of retail and food and beverage facilities and 1300 m2 of ballrooms, function & meeting facilities.

Le Meridien Spa and Health club is located on the 31st to 33rd and a 500 m2 SkyLounge and Terrace is provided at the top of the building, with providing spectacular views out over the surrounding context.

An 8 storey media Art Wall is envisioned onto which media artists can display their works.

A unique pre cambered core technology is adopted for this building in order to support the cantilevered floors above level 10. This is similar to the technology that was used for the Capital Gate Project, Abu Dhabi.

With 60 floors it would be much larger than all the others so far. Therefore I doubt it.

It looks to me more like a West Bay Tower.

[Halawala]

Looks like we already have a thread for this since 2008 (5.3 years ago!)

I remember I saw this somewhere! lol
