The airside Airport Hotel and Vitality Spa has debuted in the south node of Hamad International Airport in Doha, Qatar, with more treatment rooms for men than women.

All passengers, whether they are staying at the 100-bedroom hotel or not, can access the Vitality Spa – which features three treatment rooms for men and two for women, plus a hydrotherapy bath in both the male and female spa areas.

Guests also have access to the 25m (82ft) swimming pool, a gym and two squash courts.



The airport hosts 70 retail outlets and 30 food and beverage locations.

The number of wellness developments at airports is on the rise, offering passengers a luxurious way to spend layovers. Some recent airport wellness proposals include yoga programmes, spa rituals in first class lounges and spa boutiques with extensive treatment menus.
