Home to Qatar’s leading fitness centre, the luxury hotel proudly marked Qatar National Sports Day on February 10 with a dynamic programme of activities, designed to embrace the 2026 theme: ‘I choose sports’.

Teaming up with luxury retail destination, Printemps Doha, and Pilates studio, Riaya, the activities showcased the hotel’s commitment to well-being through a mindful fitness routine and community engagement. Taking place across the hotel’s unrivalled choice of indoor and outdoor settings, a host of pursuits were enjoyed by an esteemed guestlist of fitness center members, key local influencers and fitness enthusiasts.

Guided by Riaya’s ethos of honouring the body by nurturing it, the Pilates classes commenced with two morning sessions staged in the hotel’s sea view Fountain Garden, where fresh air and serene surroundings set the stage for an energising flow. In the afternoon, a ladies-only Pilates class was held in the Al Sabia meeting room, successfully fostering a unique sense of community and inclusive wellbeing.

Throughout the day, dining options were equally as nourishing as they were delicious, with vegan bites by Wild & The Moon expertly crafted to support balanced and sustained nutrition. Not forgetting the holistic value of retail therapy, Printemps’ inspiring display of the latest fitness apparel offered guests the opportunity to browse and try on a curated selection of premium activewear.
