DOHA, 5 February — The Hotel Inter.Continental Doha, which recently celebrated its first anniversary, enjoys a unique position in terms of location, guestrooms, club rooms, suites, restaurants, conference and banqueting facilities, and many other services and amenities. The hotel, which chose ‘six continents’ as its theme of celebration — as it perfectly reflects both the name of the company that owns the hotel chain, as well as stressing the worldwide presence of the Inter.Continental name — is the newest luxury hotel in Qatar, according to its General Manager Johnny A. Fattaleh. "Its location at the beachfront in the prestigious West Bay area of Doha is ideal for both business and leisure travelers," he added. While it boasts one of the longest beaches in Qatar, it is but a short distance from the diplomatic and business districts. Leisure facilities include a temperature-controlled pool, separate splash pool for children, water sports, tennis, squash, nearby golf and a luxurious health club. Guestrooms and suits are spacious and offer some of the finest amenities in the region. Special business rooms are equipped as offices-away-from-the-office with Internet access, printer, scanner, copier and fax among the features. The club floor offers private, express check-in/out, meeting room and executive lounge. Gourmets will find much to their linking at any of the restaurants at the hotel, including Sultan Ibrahim for Lebanese style seafood, Cielo for traditional Italian cuisine, Amwaj with international offerings, Paloma for Tex-Mex treats, the Tea Garden for pastries and light snacks and the pool bar that is an underwater swim-up bar featuring fresh juices and soft drinks.
