Pullman Doha West Bay opened its doors on August 1, becoming a stylish addition to the iconic West Bay skyline.

The new property provides a contemporary twist to Doha’s diverse hospitality offering, welcoming residents, leisure and business travellers with its 468 rooms, suites and apartments, innovative culinary concepts, artful touches, flexible meeting spaces and vibrant lifestyle facilities.

Immersive Art and Vibrant design

Inspired by the colours of the desert sands, Pullman Doha is filled with light and brightness, while the highend materials used throughout the interior create an impression of understated glamour. Always alive and changing throughout the day, thanks to the vibrant themed lounges and signature restaurants, Pullman Doha is the ideal location for both business and pleasure. Upon arrival, guests enter a generous lobby space and are welcomed by an impressive sculptural globe. The eye-catching piece, created by French designer Mathieu Lehanneur, represents a time, place and sense of travel and discovery, embodying the spirit of Pullman. As guests walk through the lobby, they will find a stunning collection of playful sculptures complemented by carefully curated decorative artefacts and books. Quirky and bold, these installations add character to the hotel design and enrich the guest experience.

The art concept will be completed later this year with the launch of the Artist Playground, a dedicated space in the lobby for inspirational art exhibitions by local and international artists.

ROOMS, SUITES AND MORE

Accommodation at the new Pullman is contemporary and sleek in design offering 375 hotel rooms and suites along with 93 apartments, spanning 47 floors and featuring 11 different categories.

• Every room features an extensive selection of C.O Bigelow amenities – a UK handcrafted skincare brand of delicious products for face and body, created exclusively for Pullman.
• Guests are offered a pillow and duvet menu to enhance and ensure a good night’s sleep experience – the core of the Pullman Bedding concept. For the ultimate deep sleep, Pullman Doha West Bay is using Serta matrasses, which have been designed for optimal comfort and support.

Spanning up to 350sq/m, each of the four penthouses sleeps up six adults and four children and offers a glorious majlis lounge, which can accommodate up to 13 guests. There are two master bedrooms, a studio room, two bathrooms and a Jacuzzi as well as spacious dressing areas and fully equipped kitchen, living and dining areas.

There are also 93 stylish apartments, all fully furnished, featuring floor-to-ceiling windows. Some are available with balconies. “Our apartments cater for demand in extended stays and serviced living options, combining the luxury of a five-star hotel and comfort of your own home,” commented Ehab Barghouth, Pullman Doha West Bay’s GM, who brings a proven track record of success and a wealth of global hospitality experience to his new role.

JOURNEYS OF GASTRONOMY

Rene Alcocer Viarretea is the Executive Chef and mastermind behind Pullman Doha West Bay hotel’s culinary concepts. Always looking for new trends and opportunities, he leads with more than 20 years of experience in kitchens worldwide from Mexico to Turkey and the Middle East. Originally from Latin America, Chef Rene brings a savoury touch and special flair to each and every dish prepared.

The new property is a stellar dining destination offering eight distinctive restaurants, bars and club lounges with a concept thoughtfully designed to take guests on a culinary journey across world-class cuisines.

The Avenue: Contemporary, vibrant and spacious, this venue works on the idea of bringing people together to discover modern culinary experiences through four cosmopolitan avenues of the world – Champs Elysees in France, Tsukiji in Japan, Bosphorus in Turkey and Broadway in the US. To further enrich the dining experience, an impressive, stylish kitchen gives guests an opportunity to watch the culinary team in action and witness the effect of CuisInMotion – the restaurant’s signature concept.

BiCE: A world of Italian authenticity, with colours and flavours born from a concept going back to 1926. This is the spot where succulent cuisine becomes edible theatre. Bold and sharp colours adorn the walls, elegant line drawings hang alongside black and white photography and the show kitchen transports guests to the birthplace of Italian dishes. Guests relish in a chic ambiance with a city view, feasting on Italian classics with a memorable contemporary twist. The bistro side, designed to gather friends, creates outstanding experiences with its eye-catching décor. Here, authentic Italian bites and a large assortment of gourmet meats and cheese platters pair with a striking selection of regional Italian beverages.

The Score: Opening later this year, this trendy gastro and sports bar with a fully-fitted beverage counter blends a casual setting with contemporary American cuisine. Traditional favourites and ‘must tries’ such as The Massive Beef Rib Burger and Any Given Sunday for dessert, are served alongside a wide range of beverages with live screening of major sports events.

The Junction: Escape the hustle and bustle of West Bay at this artistic, colourful and interactive lobby hotspot. Offering freshly brewed coffees, sweet and savoury delicacies, afternoon tea and a selection of healthy choices, the Junction is a perfect hub for a morning meeting, midday snack or evening catchups with friends.
