Torch iconic landmark of Qatari hospitality

The Torch Doha, member of Leading Hotels of the World, opened its doors to public in November 2011 and currently prepares to celebrate one year of operation in the luxury hotel market as the flagship project situated at the heart of Doha’s Sports City, Aspire Zone.
The Torch has become an iconic landmark of Qatari hospitality.
Its first year of operation marked the visit of sports personalities attending conferences and world-class football teams who chose Aspire Zone facilities as ideal for preparation stages.
The Torch’s GM Gerhard Foltin says: “The hotel concept is captivating; the rooms with their top feature — the new iPad solution, the revolving restaurant with its panoramic views and the cantilevered pool, highest in Doha are some of the main attractions. Not least is the hotel’s iconic silhouette standing high along Doha’s skyline. We had to focus on keeping our service standards high, to match the rich design and technology concepts.”
All meeting rooms at The Torch are geared with state-of-the-art presentation and audio-video facilities.
The video-conferencing system allows communication with four different destinations simultaneously and the meeting rooms are equipped with high definition LCD/ Plasma screen, which can display any content from iPad or PC.
“We have designed our public areas with comfortable sofas, interactive screens, live TV and complimentary Wi-Fi so that guests spend time socializing and working,” Foltin added.
The hotel’s professional audio system distributes individually different music to every single outlet and public area. Adding to the media electronic system at The Torch is the hotel’s digital signage system which displays high-definition videos, live TV, imagery and flash.
“At night The Torch stands out illuminated by our 3500 LED lights which create an eye-catching effect for locals and visitors. Certainly a not-to-be-missed location,” Foltin said.
