Time Hotel Management is set to open its first hotel in Qatar, Time Rako, a four-star, 102 key property located in the Al Wakra district of Doha by Q2 2017.
“With Time Rako Hotel we have created a hospitality experience that will rival Qatar’s flagship properties, but with a fresh, friendly and contemporary approach to hospitality. The hotel is fully equipped with everything the modern traveller requires and whether guests are staying with us for business or leisure – our value-based market proposition will be highly attractive,” Time Hotels CEO Mohammed Awadalla said.
Time Rako Hotel is located 20 minutes from central Doha and 15 minutes from Doha International Airport. Positioned to meet the requirements of business, leisure, MICE and family travellers, the property will offer rooms and suites of various configurations, with three equipped for guests with special needs. With the name Rako, which means "relaxation" or "enjoyment" in Japanese, the hotel will feature a 24-hour fitness and leisure centre with a variety of spa treatments. Food and beverage options will include a 24-hour all-day dining restaurant with a capacity of 90 covers, where guests can select from deli, buffet and à la carte options, and a speciality seafood restaurant with an outdoor terrace and open-style kitchen, a wood burning oven and a fresh fish display, with capacity for 84 covers. The hotel's rooftop will feature a lounge bar with an outdoor terrace seating over 106 guests. The hotel will offer three multipurpose rooms suitable for a range of event types and can cater for up to 500 guests.
Awadalla continued: “Qatar is a thriving country with a fast-paced hospitality industry, which presents new opportunities for Time Hotels to grow its presence. Expansion is the main driver of our business development plan for 2017 and there will be new openings taking place throughout the year in Saudi Arabia, Dubai, Fujairah and Ajman.
“Our current pipeline of hotels and residences meets the demands of multiple markets by offering a high-quality hotel or serviced apartment for a market segment that is currently under-represented in the regional market,” he concluded.
