265-key Doha locale to open in 2013

Morgans Hotel Group Co. said it has entered into a hotel management agreement for a Mondrian hotel in Doha, Qatar. The 265-key locale is currently being built and is slated to open in early 2013 in Doha’s upscale West Bay Lagoon neighborhood.

The property is expected to feature several restaurants, an indoor/outdoor rooftop pool bar; banquet and meeting spaces and a top-of-the-line spa. The project is being financed by a Qatar-based bank and being developed and owned by a member of Qatar's Royal Family.

“The developer is creating a spectacular hotel that we will be delighted to include in our collection. We are pleased to have been selected to manage the property over multiple other contenders,” said Morgans president Marc Gordon. “This agreement is another example of the international appeal of our brand, and every indication is that Doha will be a launching pad for further growth for us in the region.” 

Morgans also recently announced management agreements for three new hotels in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico; coastal Turkey and New York. Both the Turkey and Cabo properties will be branded with the Delano name.
