Accor is set to open two of its upscale brands in Doha in 2015 as part of its aggressive expansion strategy in the Middle East, as reported by The Peninsula. 
The company would launch Pullman Doha West Bay and MGallery Doha Msheireb after two years, according to Philippe Seguin, vice-president of sales, marketing and distribution, Middle East.
“Today we have huge ambitions in Qatar. We have a Pullman under construction and we will open as well MGallery, which would be an upscale hotel in the new Msheireb Downtown,” said Seguin.
It targets particularly the corporate and MICE sector in the region. MGallery Doha in Msheireb Downtown will draw a parallelism to architecture rooted in Qatari history and heritage on which the ambitious development has been based.
“All the international chains are now in Doha. There are a lot of developments on corporate market and the leisure sector has become more and more important as well, making Qatar an emerging international market in the leisure sector. I think the future is very bright for Qatar definitely,” he said.
