Swiss-Belhotel International announced the de-branding of Swiss-Belhotel Doha, owned by the Al Majid Family of Qatar. The hotel is no longer part of the Swiss-Belhotel International portfolio.

Laurent A. Voivenel, senior vice president – operations & development, EMEA & India; Senior Vice President – Group Human Resources & Talent Development, Swiss-Belhotel International, said: “Moving forward, Qatar is an extremely important market for us and we will continue to serve our guests with our other hugely successful hotel, the Swiss-Belinn Doha. The hotel has recently expanded its facilities with the addition of The Swiss Sports Bar and Lounge. We are also negotiating some fantastic new projects in the country to expand our footprint in the country.”

He added: “Qatar is enjoying one of its best moments in history and tourism there has a lot of potential for growth. In preparation of the FIFA World Cup, we have seen a dramatic development of infrastructure projects in the country including the massive expansion of the airport all of which will positively contribute to the tourist experiences as well as create significant economic advantages. We are looking ahead with a great deal of optimism and eager to make the most of the opportunity.”
