Hilton Worldwide has plans to develop a Hilton Hotels & Resorts property at Salwa Beach in Qatar. The development, the largest of its kind in the Middle East and a first for Qatar, will cover 257 acres of land.
The 362-key Hilton Salwa Beach Resort & Villas, Qatar will include a waterpark, a luxury marina and yacht club, a dive center, cinemas, and several restaurants.
“Combining the pleasures of an upscale retreat with the brand’s hallmarks of excellence, today’s signing of Hilton Salwa Beach Resort & Villas, Qatar is truly a landmark announcement for the Middle East and for Hilton Hotels & Resorts,” says Rob Palleschi, global head for Hilton Hotels & Resorts. “The hotel is an excellent example of the brand’s versatility and innovative hospitality qualities, which continue to generate considerable interest from discerning investors looking for experienced, trustworthy operators with a solid reputation for delivering success.”
The resort has been planned to incorporate 246 rooms in the main hotel building, including 35 suites. Specially designed to capture views of the Arabian Gulf, one village of 32 one- and two-bedroom suites will reflect authentic Arabic architecture and the second village will comprise 84 larger, more spacious villas of up to five bedrooms.
