Four Seasons Hotel Doha has completed the first phase of its $10 million renovation project announced earlier this year.

The renovated guest accommodation features a brand new look and feel in all Standard, Superior, Deluxe and Premier Rooms, Ambassador Suites, Four Seasons Suites and Four Seasons Executive Suites, a statement said.

The renovation will also see the opening of an all-new Southeast Asian-inspired signature restaurant and further suite upgrades in the coming months, a statement said.

Key highlights of the renovation include a complete soft overhaul of 175 rooms and 47 suites across 14 floors, which was completed in stages over a four-month period starting May this year.

The renovated rooms now sport serene aqua and taupe schemes, with a rich golden yellow treatment afforded to the Ambassador Suites.

All rooms and suites received a complete refreshment of upholstery, soft furnishings such as curtains, carpets and cushions as well as thoughtful upgrades to room accessories, furniture and light fixtures with a view to boosting their comfort and appeal to the modern business and leisure traveller, the statement said.

"Constantly upgrading the guest experience is our focus at Four Seasons. Our years in the Qatari capital have enabled us to learn and anticipate what it is our guests want and these observations have guided our decisions during our latest renovation project,” said Simon Casson, regional vice president and general manager of Four Seasons Hotel Doha

“The new rooms and suites are just one element that demonstrates our commitment to adapting to the market’s maturing hospitality scene in the run up to the World Cup. We want to set the bar in terms of what guests can expect from hotels in Doha and our renovated rooms reflect this intention.”

The hotel also expects to launch a second phase of refurbishments in 2012, covering the soft renovations of its Gulf, State, West Bay and Royal Suites. – TradeArabia News Service
