Meliá Hotels International is strengthening its foothold in the Middle East with plans to open a new hotel in Doha, Qatar. The hotel, which is set to open in 2017, will be operated under the Innside by Meliá brand, which becomes the third of the Spanish company's brands to achieve a presence in the destination. Offering views of the West Bay skyline and easy access to Doha's Hamad international Airport, the hotel will be located on a prime area immediately adjacent to the new Qatar National Museum, the new Doha Metro station, government and commercial offices.

The elegant and functional Innside by Meliá hotels are perfectly adapted to the needs of modern city visitors, offering a combination of business lifestyle, cutting-edge design, smart technology and personalised, simple and efficient service. The Innside Doha will become the third hotel for the company in Qatar, together with the Meliá Doha, which opened in 2015, and the future ME Doha. It will have 192 rooms, a signature restaurant, lobby lounge, business centre, fitness centre with spa, a rooftop terrace with a pool deck area and a club F&B concept on the 13th floor.
