Katara Hospitality, global hotel owner, developer and operator based in Qatar, has announced the launch of a new concept ‘Whimsy’, the first multi-sensory fine dining hub in the region as part of its commitment towards developing the hotel industry and enrich the tourism experience in Qatar.
Whimsy combines award-winning international chefs with state-of-the-art 360-degree projection technology into an epicurean journey. Guests can delight their senses in exquisite creations inspired by a fusion of art and flavours, while letting their imagination soar on an adventure of sight and sound.
Andrew Humphries, acting chief executive offcer, said: “Qatar is witnessing unprecedented growth in high-level hospitality projects, thanks to the economic growth that has allowed hotels to increase. Yet the challenge of providing innovative services comes. Our commitment is to invest in the development of the tourism industry and enhance Qatar’s hospitality sector. It is one of the most important aspects of investment, which should be considered as one of the largest sectors contributing to the global GDP, which has made it one of the most important sources of capital bringing economic growth forward.”
He added, “Tourism plays a role in increasing the capacity of productive countries and stimulating the movement of industrial production and investment in other sectors. Such tourism initiatives are an integral part of the total investment of any country to maximise the impact of tourism investment on other sectors.”
Whimsy offers a blend of award-winning global chefs with the latest 360-degree display technology to offer guests a journey of imagination, enabling them to experience innovative dishes inspired by art and flavour, in a space of visual and sound effects.
Whimsy strives to elevate the lifestyle and transcend the boundaries of dining and entertainment in Qatar, offering everyone the most outstanding experience.
In 2017, Katara Hospitality worked on a comprehensive refurbishment of the Ritz-Carlton, Doha, which is the first luxury five-star hotel opened in Qatar in 2001. It strengthened the new design of the 374 guest rooms to reflect the hotel’s refined atmosphere and its distinctive hospitality.
The large-scale transformation included the modernisation of all guest rooms, the spa and the VIP club lounge as a step to redefine the luxury of the city’s business centre.
The famous hotel, owned by Katara Hospitality, is an important landmark and iconic symbol of Qatar where the concept of restaurants located in the hotel, which is the first in Qatar, including B-Lounge and STK (Steakhouse and others, has been redeveloped during the renovation phase. Today, the hotel has become the first destination for visitors to
Qatar.
The hospitality sector in Qatar is constantly booming, especially after Qatar has succeeded in attracting the most important international events in 2020. With the tourism sector growing dramatically and the demand for hospitality services increasing across the region, Katara Hospitality is working to meet these demands by focusing on the development of its hotels.
