The Oberoi Group has entered into management contracts for two new luxury properties in Qatar.

The first will be a 250 key luxury hotel in the West Bay area of Doha, while the second, 148 key hotel, will be a luxury serviced apartment building located in Lusail, Doha.

Planning of both the projects is well under way and construction will commence early next year with completion of both projects in mid-2018.

The hotel in Doha will reflect the same standards of luxury that Oberoi Hotels & Resorts are known for and the Lusail serviced apartments will also bring Oberoi’s exacting standards to a serviced apartment residential complex.

Both Qatar projects are being sponsored by Qatar General Insurance and Reinsurance Company.

P.R.S. Oberoi, executive chairman, The Oberoi Group said, “We are extremely pleased to have been selected by the Qatar General Insurance and Reinsurance Company to assist them in the design and management of these two projects and we look forward to bringing the Oberoi hospitality to the Qatar market.”

The Oberoi Group opened a luxury hotel in the year 2013 in Dubai and will manage a luxury beach resort in Ajman, which will open in the second quarter of 2016.
