A Middle East Pearl: Four Seasons and Q Bayraq Real Estate Investments Announce Luxury Development in Doha
The property is situated on a private beach. An indoor lap pool is among many amenities.
Leading luxury hospitality company Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts continues to expand its diverse offering of hotels, resorts and residences in the Middle East with the announcement of a new project currently under construction in The Pearl-Qatar landmark development in Doha. The new property is in partnership with Q Bayraq Real Estate Investments, a specialized real estate investment development company focused on high-end projects in Qatar.
Situated on a private beach and surrounded by lushly landscaped gardens and pools, the 19-story building will offer resort-style luxury living in the heart of the city. Available for short and long-term stays, 161 fully furnished apartments ranging from one to three bedrooms will feature full kitchens, en suite laundry and expansive living areas including outdoor terraces, all finished by Wimberly Interiors with bespoke details throughout. In addition, 84 private residences will be available for purchase. “As Four Seasons continues to grow and diversify its development pipeline in the Middle East, we are proud to be part of The Pearl-Qatar development, an innovative project that will perfectly complement our existing hotel in the city,” said Bart Carnahan, president of Global Business Development and Portfolio Management, Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts. “Four Seasons at The Pearl-Qatar offers a unique opportunity to be part of a community of residents and guests enjoying incredible on-site amenities and the unparalleled luxury service for which our company is renowned worldwide.”
All accommodations will be fully serviced by a dedicated Four Seasons team, creating an ideal base for doing business in Doha, or for vacationers seeking a resort experience with easy access to all the city has to offer, the companies said. Private residence owners will enjoy enhanced privacy and exclusivity while having complete access to the property's services and amenities.
Expansive living areas sport amazing views.
The hotel is an ideal base to explore Doha. Residences boast up to three bedrooms.
The development has five restaruants and bars.
The development will feature five restaurants and bars, including a signature dining experience by Michelin-starred Chef Joël Robuchon; a wellness center with spa and salon, fitness studio and indoor lap pool; a supervised indoor/outdoor kids club; a private screening room with an open kitchen, an outdoor terrace, two outdoor pools (one adult and one for families) and a private beach, all managed and serviced by Four Seasons.
In addition to the on-site amenities, Four Seasons guests and residents will be within walking distance of numerous restaurants, bars, shopping, cinemas and other entertainments in the immediate area. For those arriving by water or wishing to explore, The Pearl-Qatar is also home to many marinas.
Veteran hotelier Mehdi Zaanoun has been appointed general manager of the Four Seasons at The Pearl-Qatar. Most recently general manager of Four Seasons Hotel Casablanca, Zaanoun began his Four Seasons career 20 years ago at Four Seasons Hotel George V, Paris before pursuing opportunities with several leading hospitality brands in Paris, Cairo and Dubai. Born in Tunisia and educated in Switzerland at the prestigious École Hôtelière de Lausanne, he speaks English, French, Arabic and Spanish.
After a slowdown during COVID-19, the residential real estate market in the country has seen a surge of activity in 2022, largely due to additional demand being generated by the FIFA World Cup, which will be held from November 21 through December 18, as well as an increase in Freehold Zones, which allow non-Qataris to purchase property.
This new project will join the existing Four Seasons hotel in the city, Four Seasons Hotel Doha, along with the growing collection of properties in the Middle East, including the upcoming Four Seasons Private Residences Dubai at Jumeirah, Four Seasons Hotel Diriyah, Saudi Arabia, and the recently announced Four Seasons Resort and Private Residences Muscat, Oman.
