MGallery has marked the brand’s debut in Qatar with Alwadi Hotel Doha. The brand new five-star boutique hotel was inaugurated yesterday with a ribbon-cutting ceremony. 
HE Sheikh Faisal bin Qassim al-Thani, French ambassador Franck Gellet, Msheireb Properties board member (developer and owner of the hotel) engineer Saad Ebrahim al-Muhannadi, Msheireb Properties acting CEO Ali al-Kuwari, Accor Middle East & Africa CEO Mark Willis, and Alwadi Hotel Doha general manager Dominic Arel were present at the opening.
The new hotel is located within Msheireb Downtown Doha, a vibrant new retail, commercial and residential development that is one the smartest and most sustainable city district in the world.  Located just 15 minutes from Hamad International Airport, and 10 minutes from West Bay, the hotel meets the needs of business and leisure travellers alike.
“We are honoured to see Msheireb Downtown Doha become home to the first ever MGallery hotel in Qatar. This partnership and collaboration reflects the trust of prestigious, international hospitality brands in our development’s world-class infrastructure and services,” al-Kuwari said.
Alwadi Hotel Doha has 213 rooms and suites, each with thoughtful amenities, inspiring patterns and a vibrant colour scheme to bring a touch of heritage to its contemporary design. Both Souq Suites and the Royal Suite offer balconies with views overlooking Souq Waqif, while the Superior, Deluxe and Executive rooms offer spectacular views of the West Bay skyline. 
All rooms feature the hotel’s unique cocoon MyBed concept, as well as special products and amenities for female travellers chosen as part of the brands ‘Inspired By Her’ concept, which include medium-and small-sized bathrobes, smaller slippers, emergency kits, luxury special treatments in MSpa, a sleep menu, and ‘Inspired By Her’ beverages.  Ten guest rooms have been specially designed to accommodate guests with special needs, including braille communication tools. “We are excited to debut the MGallery brand in Qatar. Each boutique hotel in the MGallery collection tells a unique story and perfectly blends modern design with local history and heritage,” Willis said. 
The hotel has three world-class restaurants, two bars and a lobby tea lounge and terrace to offer a memorable experience to guests. 
Alwadi Hotel Doha features MSpa, which encompasses five treatment rooms, a steam room and sauna as well as a relaxation area for rejuvenation and comfort. Alongside, MFit, the hotel’s fitness centre, is furnished with the latest Technogym equipment and infused with natural light.
“We are pleased to present a fine blend of luxury wrapped in the vintage opulence for the people of Qatar. While designing the hotel, each and every nuance has been kept in mind to offer our esteemed guests the utmost comfort and convenience,” Arel said.
The hotel’s spectacular ballroom, offering natural daylight, accommodates up to 415 guests and features elegant touches inspired by traditional local crafts. Five state-of-the-art fully-equipped meeting rooms provide smaller meeting spaces suitable for small work groups and closed door meetings. To celebrate the opening, Alwadi Hotel Doha MGallery is introducing a special offer for its guests to experience the signature ‘Memorable Moment’.
