Commenting to Hotelier Middle East on his hotel’s award, Oryx Rotana Doha general manager Kevork Deldelian said: “Here at the Oryx Rotana Doha we are very proud to have been named the best airport hotel in the Middle East for the second consecutive year.
"We have worked hard to develop a number of initiatives to directly benefit our travelling hotel guests. For example we are the only hotel where guest can check in at the airport, which means they don’t have to wait in line once they arrive at the hotel, while we also provide a complimentary, around the clock shuttle bus.
"These guest benefits, including extensive F&B facilities, are all aimed towards giving our guest s level of service that they are probably not expecting from a airport hotel.”
