The tourism industry in Doha, Qatar, a tiny country on the Persian Gulf, has burst forth on the international scene in the last couple of years. And the central element in the boom is the success of Qatar Hotels. The developers behind the new Doha hotels have one guiding principle: luxury. To experience a Doha hotel is to enter a world of comfort, quality, and extravagance that is on par with the best resorts in the world. The traveller can choose from any number of 5-star hotels, from high-end names like Four Seasons and Ritz-Carlton, and many others are set to open within the next year or so. The hotels are matched with the top-notch facilities you’d expect from a luxury resort, such as spas and golf courses. High culture is not neglected either: the new Museum of Islamic Arts, designed by world-famous architect I.M. Pei, will be a landmark of the city. In short, Qatar is set to be a grand player in the luxury travel scene, drawing well-heeled guests from around the world, for decades to come.
