InterContinental® Doha Beach & Spa

What InterContinental® Doha Beach & Spa does

InterContinental Doha Beach & Spa is a 5-star beachfront luxury resort located in the West Bay Lagoon area of Doha, Qatar, operating under a franchise license from InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG). The property sits on 500 meters of private beach described as Doha's longest, and offers accommodation across Classic Rooms, Club Rooms, and a suite tier that includes Ocean, Two Bedroom, Diplomatic King, Presidential, and Royal Suites, alongside the separately branded InterContinental Doha Residences (1-, 2-, and 3-bedroom apartments and 3-bedroom villas). It is independently owned and operated, while leveraging IHG's central reservations, the IHG Rewards Club loyalty platform, and global distribution across more than 5,000 hotels.

The property runs a diversified on-site ecosystem anchored by 14 restaurants and bars, including Michelin-recommended La Mar by Gastón Acurio, Belgian Café, Mykonos, Novecento, Coral, Manko Doha, Pool Terrace, La Vue, and La Mar Beach. Wellness and recreation are delivered through Spa InterContinental (16 treatment rooms with Biologique Recherche and Intraceuticals product partnerships, plus thermal and ladies-only facilities) and the Bay Club (24-hour gym, tennis/squash/padel courts, outdoor pools, water sports, kids' and teens' clubs). Events infrastructure includes the Al Wajba Ballroom (up to 800 guests for gala dinners), flexible meeting rooms, beachfront wedding venues, and dedicated wedding and Incredible Occasions planning teams.

Revenue is generated through multiple streams: room and suite rentals, F&B covers across the dining outlets, spa treatments and wellness packages, meetings and banqueting, weddings and social celebrations, and residential short- and long-stay rentals. Distribution combines IHG's global booking engine, the brand website, phone reservations, email, and WhatsApp; marketing is executed through Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, and email newsletters targeting luxury travelers, families, corporate and MICE clients, celebrations, and long-stay guests. The operating base is Doha, Qatar, with global demand sourcing through IHG's platform.
