St Regis Hotels and Resorts has announced the opening of a new 336-bedroom property in Doha, Qatar, as part of the Starwood-owned brand's continued growth in the Middle East.

Owned by Resorts Development Company and developed by Alfardan Group, The St Regis Doha is one of three St Regis-branded properties to open within a year across the region.

The hotel boasts 16,000sq m (172,223sq ft) of leisure facilities, including the Middle East's first Remède Spa - one of the largest spas in Doha with 22 treatment rooms.

A fitness centre; an Olympic-size swimming pool; and a private beach with 10 cabanas also feature at The St Regis Doha, along with a number of eateries inspired by renowned chefs.

The St Regis Doha joins the new St Regis Saadiyat Island Resort, United Arab Emirates, in the Middle East, with The St. Regis Abu Dhabi scheduled to open later this year.

"Introducing the brand's celebrated legacy and unparalleled luxury offerings to Qatar with the opening of The St. Regis Doha is an exciting and significant accomplishment for St Regis," says Paul James, global brand leader for St Regis Hotels and Resorts.
