Waldorf Astoria Hotels & Resorts has proudly declared the opening of its much-anticipated property, Waldorf Astoria Doha West Bay. This exquisite hotel defines contemporary opulence with its sophisticated decor, diverse dining options, a sprawling four-floor wellness haven, and a commitment to providing seamless, personalized service.
Boasting a stunning 44-storey structure with 283 rooms and suites, along with 50 luxurious apartments, the hotel pays homage to the iconic Waldorf Astoria in New York. Each room exudes a distinctive art deco style, and to elevate the guest experience, a dedicated Personal Concierge is assigned to attend to every detail from pre-arrival to post-departure.
Guy Hutchinson, President of Middle East & Africa at Hilton, expressed excitement about the hotel's opening, emphasizing the strong growth in international travel experienced by Qatar, welcoming over four million visitors in 2023. He highlighted the property's timeless design, enticing culinary offerings, the expansive spa, and state-of-the-art event facilities, positioning it as an urban oasis in the heart of the city.
The lobby, inspired by grand clocks in Waldorf Astoria properties worldwide, features a magnificent clock crafted by Tiffany & Co., celebrating Qatar's national bird, the falcon. The bespoke design, coupled with luxurious mohair upholstery in Tiffany blue, sets a sophisticated tone that extends to each guest room.
Dino Michael, Senior Vice President, and Global Head at Hilton Luxury Brands, commended the thoughtful design of Waldorf Astoria Doha West Bay, showcasing a commitment to enhancing Hilton's luxury portfolio in Qatar.
The Waldorf Astoria Spa, spanning from the 39th to the 43rd floor, offers a wellness haven with breathtaking views of Qatar's skyline. The spa's bespoke features include salt inhalation relaxation, hydrotherapy pools, sensory rain walk, meditation studios, and treatment suites embracing holistic wellness.
In alignment with Waldorf Astoria's culinary excellence, the hotel presents a diverse range of dining venues. From the historical Peacock Alley offering Afternoon Tea to the Parisienne patisserie Ledoux and the New York-inspired mixology bar, The Cortland Bar, guests can embark on a culinary journey. Tribeca Market, a gourmet food hall experience, adds a unique touch with five different live stations.
Excitingly, upcoming venues like MURU, led by Michelin-starred chef Mauro Colagreco, and YUN, offering modern Cantonese and Taishanese cuisine, promise to elevate the gastronomic experience.
Waldorf Astoria Doha West Bay emerges as a distinguished venue for events, featuring elegant facilities such as two ballrooms, two boardrooms, and three multi-functional meeting rooms with access to an outdoor patio. With its opening, Waldorf Astoria Doha West Bay not only adds a jewel to Qatar's hospitality landscape but also exemplifies a commitment to delivering unparalleled luxury and experiences.

Udaipur welcomes a new luxury landmark as Wyndham Hotels & Resorts opens Wyndham Grand Udaipur Fatehsagar Lake, a lavish lakeside retreat set across 26 acres of scenic landscapes. Overlooking the Aravalli mountains and minutes from Fatehsagar Lake, the resort marks Wyndham’s flagship debut in India’s luxury space.
The grand opening saw an elegant gathering of hotel leaders, industry names and special guests. A traditional Rajasthani welcome set the tone—flower showers, tika and pag rituals, followed by vibrant Kachi Ghodi dancers and live regional music. With dusk settling over the hills, the celebration moved into curated culinary experiences that showcased Udaipur’s artistic and cultural charm.
“Wyndham Grand Udaipur Fatehsagar Lake represents a defining milestone in our India journey. This resort is a perfect blend of Rajasthan’s timeless charm and Wyndham’s global standards,” said Rahool Macarius, Market Managing Director – Eurasia, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts.
The property mirrors Udaipur’s royal heritage, featuring 140 guestrooms and suites with Gokhda-style sit-outs, indulgent marble interiors and whirlpool bathtubs in select rooms. The upcoming Palace Wing will add 60 more rooms designed with an elevated heritage feel.
As a pure vegetarian resort, guests can enjoy Indian and global flavours at Pyaala, Shakahari and O Sian, each focusing on fresh, local ingredients.
The resort offers some of Udaipur’s most impressive event spaces, including:
One of the largest amphitheatres in the city
A lavish ballroom
Expansive Vintage Lawn for large gatherings under the night sky
For leisure, guests can unwind at the heated outdoor pool, indulge in wellness rituals at Zivaya Spa, or enjoy multiple sports—from tennis and badminton to cricket. Thoughtful services such as concierge support, childcare, butler service, bridal studios and even EV charging make stays seamless.
“Our goal was to create a space connected to the spirit of Udaipur, where mornings begin by the lake and evenings flow with warm Rajasthani hospitality,” the team shared.
With its blend of natural beauty, royal-inspired design and global comforts, Wyndham Grand Udaipur Fatehsagar Lake sets a fresh benchmark for luxury travel and celebrations in India’s beloved City of Lakes.
Atmosphere Core has introduced its fourth brand, ONE Atmosphere, marking its entry into the extended-stay space. The new brand is designed for modern travellers who prefer a flexible lifestyle, one that combines the comfort of home, the structure of a workspace, and the convenience of hotel services.
ONE Atmosphere will offer fully serviced apartments that bring together spacious layouts, branded amenities, seamless support and design-led interiors. These spaces aim to serve today’s work–live–travel pattern, giving guests a place that adapts to different routines and longer stays.
Speaking about the launch, Mr. Salil Panigrahi, Managing Director, Atmosphere Core, said, “As travel becomes more fluid and work becomes borderless, guests expect more than a hotel room, they expect a lifestyle solution, ONE Atmosphere is designed to meet this shift by offering a reliable model of flexible living that blends the warmth of home with the precision of hospitality.”
The design philosophy will focus on calm materials, efficient layouts and local art, creating warm and intuitive environments across locations. Each apartment will feel residential, supported quietly by hotel-style services in the background.
Built for long stays, relocations, holidays and hybrid travel, the brand will deliver a consistent ‘ONE Experience’, supported by a wide range of work, leisure and convenience amenities under the ‘ONE Promise’.
Highlighting the growth opportunity, Mr. Sandeep Ahuja, Managing Director, ONE Atmosphere, said the segment is expanding quickly but remains fragmented. He added that the brand aims to set a strong global benchmark by combining scale with dependable, high-quality experiences, drawing from Atmosphere Core’s proven operational strengths in the Maldives.
The upcoming pipeline includes urban, metropolitan and leisure destinations across South Asia, Southeast Asia and the Gulf, with more international markets being evaluated for future expansion.

Della Resorts & Adventure has unveiled its Christmas Festive Package for 2025, bringing the holiday season alive in a way that feels warm, thoughtful and pleasantly personal. The package offers a two-night stay, available for either 24–25 or 25–26 December, giving guests a simple but memorable festive escape.
The experience is designed around meaningful moments rather than extravagance, a stay that feels slow and unhurried, mornings that ease into a relaxed breakfast and an Adventure Day Pass that brings a playful spirit to the holiday. Guests can enjoy The Vegas Noelat, the resort’s annual Christmas production, and begin their evening at Café 24 with festive cocktails or mocktails that set the mood just right.
A Christmas Brunch becomes the highlight of the day, and every guest leaves with a traditional pudding, a nostalgic touch that adds to the charm of the celebration.
Children have their own world of December cheer with gingerbread decorating, a Santa Meet-and-Greet and curated activities designed just for them. For adults, the experience sits between a refreshing getaway and a soft festive reset, celebratory without being loud, joyful without being predictable.
The package is ideal for anyone wanting to step away from the city’s usual December rush and spend the holiday in a setting that feels warm, relaxed and a little extra special.
