Grand Hyatt Doha set to host global entertainment events this week

From 29 October to 1 November, the city will support the inaugural Doha Tribeca Film Festival, the first-ever Doha 21st Century Leaders Awards Evening, and the Sony Ericsson Championships, which is the year-end finale of the World Tennis Association's ladies season, now held annually in Doha. Grand Hyatt Doha will serve as the host hotel for the Doha 21st Century Leaders Awards Evening.

"Doha is the place to be this weekend. There is so much to do and see here, and we are excited to be at the epicenter of much of the weekend's activities,"

said Garry Friend, General Manager, Grand Hyatt Doha.

To accommodate the demand for discretion, privacy, relaxation and fine dining experiences, Grand Hyatt Doha offers 249 spacious and stylish guestrooms beautifully designed using rich woods to complement fine textiles. The 39 premium suites open onto large balconies with panoramic views of the beach and landscaped gardens. All rooms provide spacious marble baths that open up to the guestrooms, and some suites feature large balconies furnished with dining tables, day beds and lounging chairs.

Additonally, the hotel offers 91 private residences offering a choice of two, three or four bedrooms. The residences provide a sanctuary of comfort and convenience for those who prefer home essentials while enjoying hotel services, facilities and amenities. Each residence is well appointed with multiple flat-screen televisions, iPod docking stations, dual line and wireless telephones, Internet access and a safety deposit box. Residents can also enjoy exclusive use of two outdoor swimming pools and access to the hotel's Business Centre, spa and recreational facilities.

The hotel's close proximity to popular cultural attractions such as the new Museum of Islamic Art and the city's many shopping venues, both modern and traditional, is an additional draw for Doha's celebrity visitors.

Grand Hyatt Doha, which opened earlier this year, offers exceptional dining options at its four signature restaurants, each of which presents a unique blend of international cooking styles and flavours.

The hotel's flagship restaurant, Isaan, finds its roots in Northeastern Thailand and serves a variety of authentic vegetarian, seafood and meat dishes. The Grill, a stylish all-day dining venue offering a premium selection of fresh Australian seafood, meat and vegetables, fully embraces the concept of kitchen theatre with a number of open plan kitchens throughout. For a more relaxed atmosphere, guests can experience Rocca, a poolside restaurant offering cuisine from Italy, France, Morocco, Turkey, Greece and Spain.

Completing Grand Hyatt Doha's restaurant portfolio is Biscotti - an Italian-style café that offers a variety of hot beverages as well as shakes and smoothies to complement a delectable array of pastries, baked goods and home-made gelati.
