Tivoli Hotels & Resorts – part of Minor Hotels – has announced it is now operating the Souq Waqif Boutique Hotels in Doha, a collection of nine unique and historical buildings featuring intricate décor and architecture, nestled in the heart of the historic Souq Waqif.

Souq Waqif Boutique Hotels, which is one of the many assets managed by Katara Hospitality, Qatar’s leading hospitality organisation, will now be known as Souq Waqif Boutique Hotels by Tivoli.

The synergies of these two brands will enhance the development of the local hospitality sector and contribute towards the economic diversification, as envisioned in the Qatar National Vision 2030. 

Located within the renowned Souq Waqif and close to Doha’s Hamad International Airport, as well as major business hubs such as the New Msheireb Business and the Bank Street, Souq Waqif Boutique Hotels by Tivoli offers an immersion in Arabian tradition and culture, combined with the luxury service and personal attention for which Tivoli hotels are renowned.

Souq Waqif Boutique Hotels by Tivoli specialise in bespoke services and facilities, tailored to the needs of today’s business and leisure travellers.

From personal butler service and fine quality dining, to a fully equipped business centre and recreational facilities.

The hotels provide a range of experiences to suit the most discerning guests.

Traditional architecture fuses with contemporary spa facilities, along with a Moroccan hammam. 

Backed by its impeccable 80 plus years of heritage and experience, Tivoli Hotels & Resorts differentiate through the range of unique experiences offered, allowing guests to enjoy the most authentic features of every destination, along with innovative and outstanding service.

As part of Minor Hotels portfolio of brands, Tivoli now adds Qatar to the collection of distinctive high end luxury properties it operates in Portugal and Brazil.

Dillip Rajakarier, chief executive, Minor Hotels, commented: “The addition of Souq Waqif Boutique Hotels by Tivoli to the portfolio is extremely exciting for Tivoli and represents the brand’s debut in the Middle East region and also the first of Minor Hotels’ planned expansion of the brand outside of its home markets of Portugal and Brazil.

“It will undoubtedly enhance Doha’s appeal to affluent travellers from around the world, including the discerning millennial market.”
