Marriott International has announced that three of its brands have opened in Qatar as part of the Doha City Center complex, which comprises two 48-storey properties in West Bay.

Located near the city's financial district, the complex includes the 257-bedroom Renaissance Doha City Center Hotel and the 204-room Courtyard by Marriott Doha City Center.

The 123-unit Marriott Executive Apartments Doha City Center has also opened at the Doha City Center complex, with the three properties sharing facilities on floors one-to-seven.

Among the shared facilities is Marriott's signature Saray Spa, which offers services such as traditional Hammam bathing rituals and which "embraces" Arabic design elements.

A Vitality Zone health club; nine restaurants and bars; and 1,200sq m (12,917sq ft) of space for meetings has also been provided as part of the shared facilities at the development.

Oliver Kahf, general manager of the complex, said: "Taken together, the lodging, shopping and entertainment complex is quickly becoming a tourism hub in Doha."

Marriott International president and managing director Ed Fuller added: "The opening of the three hotels is a major step forward in reinforcing Doha's futuristic vision and surging tourism potential in Qatar."
