Doha: InterContinental Doha The City is proud to be the first hotel in Qatar to receive the 5-star hotel accreditation from the Qatar Tourism Authority, after successfully completing the requirements for the latest QTA standards audit for hotels in the country.
The certificate was received by the management from the Qatar Tourism Authority on January 18. The classification is based on the criteria of the Hotel Classification System of Qatar.
According to the Qatar Tourism Authority, they have instituted a standardised system for the classification of hotels, hotel apartments and other accommodation providers. It was designed according to international best practice and adapted to local conditions. Provisions cover the full range of facilities and services that hotels or hotel apartments must offer to qualify for grading.
Following self-evaluation, each hotel’s submission is then verified by an on-site inspection of every property by QTA officials to ensure that all the criteria are fully complied with.
“We are proud to be the first hotel in the country to have passed all the classification requirements of the Qatar Tourism Authority to receive the accreditation once more as a five star hotel in the country,” said Gilles Longuet, General Manager of InterContinental Doha - The City.
“A special thank you to our owner, Ahmed Al Kubaisi, for all of his support in enabling us to achieve this honor. I would also like to thank our colleagues for all of their hard work as they have delivered consistent service excellence of the highest standards to all of our guests.”
