Just 50 days to go for FIFA World Cup™ 2022, Wyndham Grand Doha West Bay Beach held its official opening ceremony on 2 October 2022. The inaugural ceremony was officiated by Mr Majed Hassan Al Ghanim, ACEO Hala Group Enterprises, Mr Hisham Al Sehtari, CEO of SAK Holdings, and Mr Michel Augier, Regional Director, Middles East & Africa, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts. This was followed by a speech from representatives of the owning companies and Wyndham Hotels & Resorts.

The night ended with a scrumptious dinner at bāzār West Bay, our all-day-dining restaurant. The 278-room hotel opened its door to guests in August 2022 in collaboration with a leading regional hospitality development entity, Hala Real Estate Development Company.

Ideally located in the business hub of Doha, the Hotel is blessed with the best of both worlds as it is embraced by the Doha Skyline and the pristine West Bay Beach. Walking distance from the City Centre shopping mall and the DECC metro station, Wyndham Grand Doha West Bay Beach is the closest beachfront hotel in the prestigious West Bay area.

Wyndham Grand Doha West Bay Beach offers modern premium rooms, suites, and apartments and boasts state-of-the-art leisure facilities for guests including a variety of on-site restaurants, a spa that includes a jacuzzi, steam room, sauna, and outdoor pool as well as a fitness centre. Business travellers can utilize the property’s six spacious corporate meeting rooms, which have the combined capacity to host close to 350 people.

Chosen as the base hotel for the Tunisian team, the hotel is all geared and excited for the forthcoming months.

Mr Ahmed Khorshed, representative of Hala Group Enterprises in his speech said:

“ We are pleased that the hotel's opening coincides with the approaching of the most important event this year, the FIFA World Cup 2022™. We are also delighted that the Wyndham Grand Doha West Bay Beach will host the team of the sister country, Tunisia, who we wish success during the World Cup. Wyndham Grand Doha West Bay Beach Hotel is an important addition to the hospitality sector in the State of Qatar, due to its strategic location in the West Bay area and a stunning view of the Arabian Gulf waters. We are confident that we will provide the highest service and luxury for all our guests.’’

Michel Augier, Regional Director, Middle East & Africa, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, said at the ceremony:

“ Today we celebrate with you the opening of Wyndham Grand Doha West Bay Beach hotel, which is one of the great accomplishments of the “Sharekna” product, which has been launched five years ago rendering a march of achievements and successes.
