Hilton Hotels and Resorts, the flagship brand owned by Hilton Worldwide, has expanded its international portfolio to 80 countries with the opening of its first property in Qatar.

The 309-bedroom Hilton Doha is located on the capital's Corniche and boasts the Middle East's first spa to be operated under the group's signature eforea: spa at Hilton concept.

Featuring a combination of Arab-inspired design details and a contemporary finish, the new spa spans 600sq m (6,458sq ft) and contains five multi-use treatment rooms.

A Thai massage and mediation room; a couples' suite with steam rasul; and a single suite - also with a steam rasul - also feature, in addition to an extensive thermal lounge.

The thermal lounge houses a traditional sauna; two aroma steam experiences; a hydropool; an ice chute; and two experience showers, while also providing access to the spa garden.

In line with the growing international portfolio of eforea-branded spas, Hilton Doha offers treatments using LIT'YA; Kerstin Florian; VitaMan; and Peter Thomas Roth.

Rudi Jagersbacher, area president for Hilton Worldwide in the Middle East and Africa, said: "Introducing eforea: spa at Hilton into this region is of great importance to us and supports our strong pipeline of individual hotels and growth of our market leading brands."
