August 21,2019 0 Rita Ghantous

The B Premiere Hotel, a member of the Centara Boutique Collection, will open by the end of 2019, while the 167-key Centara Al Bustan Hotel Doha is scheduled for 2021. The Centara Hotels & Resorts deal, Thailand’s leading hospitality group, represents the 3^rd and 4^th Doha properties Centara will manage on behalf of Al Bandary.

The latter also owns Centara West Bay Residences & Suites Doha, an upper upscale property that opened earlier this year and the previously signed Centara Grand Hotel Doha scheduled for opening in 2020. The B Premiere Hotel, set to open this year, is a new 85-key boutique ten minutes away from many of the city’s popular attractions and 20 minutes by car from the capital’s international airport.

“We are very excited to be expanding our partnership with Al Bandary with our 2nd and 3rd Doha properties, following the successful launch of Centara West Bay Residences & Suites earlier this year. Doha is a key gateway city to the world and a strategic development destination for Centara, and the management and team at Al Bandary Hotel Management LLC are the perfect partners with whom to realize our growth plans in Qatar,” said Thirayuth Chirathivat, CEO of Centara Hotels & Resorts.

Ahmad Al Rayyan, Group GM of Al Bandary Management LLC, the hotel’s owner, commented, “We are delighted to be working with Centara on these exciting new projects. Their successful opening of the first Doha property is testament to their expertise and professionalism and we are looking forward to a successful collaboration on these new properties in the months and years ahead.”

The B Premiere Hotel will feature 4 room categories ranging between 32–60 sqm in size. The hotel’s dining venues will include Zing café on the lobby level; Celeste Bistro, offering all-day dining, as well as Sheesh Lebanese Grill, the hotel’s signature rooftop restaurant. The hotel will be equipped with a Cenfit fitness center, swimming pool with Jacuzzi, separate male and female spas with steam rooms and saunas, flexible meeting room space and a Cense by Cenvaree spa.

Doha’s combination of the dynamic business environment, vast cultural attractions and recreational opportunities make it a highly-attractive destination for business and leisure travelers as well as a popular host city for meetings, conventions and events including the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
