Accor has inked a partnership with Katara Hospitality to debut its Raffles and Fairmont brands in Qatar, in the form of a dual-branded property.
Set to open in 2022, the Fairmont Hotel and Raffles Hotel & Residences will sit within the Iconic Towers in Lusail, a twin-towered building featuring traditional scimitar swords, an emblem of Qatar.
Besides a five-star hotel with 361 rooms and suites to cater to business travellers, there will also be a six-star hotel with 132 suites and 49 branded apartments to become home to permanent residents.
Entertainment and recreational facilities, including specialist boutiques, VIP movie theatres, signature restaurants and a private Cigar Lounge are to be complemented by banqueting and conference spaces, as well as office dedicated areas.
