St. Regis Doha on pre-launch recruitment drive

In preparation for the hotel’s opening, The St. Regis Doha has welcomed more than 200 hospitality professionals to its growing team in the past two months.

As workers complete the building and fit-out on the 336-room hotel, employees are being trained on-site, the hotel group said in a statement. Training is a key part of The St. Regis Doha experience, to enable staff to anticipate guests’ needs and build the reputation of the hotel as the “finest address in Doha”, 

“We have brought a significant number of staff to the hotel early, to provide a comprehensive training programme before we open our doors to guests,” said Tareq Derbas, general manager of The St. Regis Doha.

“Our plan is to make our opening season one of the highlights of the social calendar in Doha, and we are confident that we have assembled the right team to deliver this unique experience for people in Qatar and for luxury enthusiasts from around the world.”

The team is planning a full calendar of events and culinary experiences to mark the opening of the hotel, set to take place in the first half of 2012.
