rest – For Immediate Release | Official News Wire for the Travel Industry

Travel provides a much-needed break from everyday life to discover new places and cultures, meet new people and see the world from a different perspective. Along the way, travel can also take a heavy toll on physical health and well-being. Energy-draining jet lag disrupts sleep. Disciplined eating habits suffer. Exercise routines get interrupted.

Enter Staying Well, a healthier way to travel from Centara Hotels & Resorts, Thailand’s leading hotel operator. Staying Well is a new programme launched by Centara to provide guests more ways to take care of their health and wellness throughout their stay.

“We are continually looking for innovative ways to serve health-conscious travellers and promote healthy living,” commented Tom Thrussell, Vice President – Brand, Marketing & Digital, Centara Hotels & Resorts. “Staying Well represents a significant enhancement in the level of services available to our guests, enabling them to rejuvenate body and mind, and maintain their lifestyle of choice whilst travelling.”

The Staying Well programme is built around three core pillars: Live Well, Eat Well and Sleep Well.

Live Well: Exercise benefits body and mind. Staying Well’s Wellness kit offers guests everything needed for a private in-room exercise workout. The kit includes fitness accessories such as a yoga mat, Swiss ball, 4-kg kettlebell, 2-kg dumbbell pair, muscle therapy foam roller and a workout folder with a variety of easy-to-follow exercise routines, from Morning Yoga to Full Body Workouts, accompanied by workout videos. There are also free group exercise classes guests can join throughout their stay and a gym kit with workout outfit available on request.

Eat Well: Centara’s expanded menu offers nutritious selections spanning diabetic, healthy-heart, gluten-free, low sodium, reduced calorie and vegetarian options, with easy-to-find nutrition information included in restaurant and room service menus.

Sleep Well: End the day with a better night’s sleep. Staying Well features an array of pillow choices, from memory foam to hypoallergenic buckwheat pillows felt by many to promote better sleep. A spa music channel provides soothing sounds. Guests can order a Rest Well kit complete with ear plugs, eye mask, lavender water mister, and silky-soft pajamas made of bamboo fibre. Wake up refreshed and ready for a new day.

Staying Well is being progressively introduced at all Centara Grand-branded properties and select Centara hotels and resorts.

Centara Hotels & Resorts, has made its debut in Qatar with the launch of a spectacular new oceanview hotel in Doha, the country’s rapidly expanding capital city.

Welcoming its first guests in December, Centara West Bay Residences & Suites Doha is located in the West Bay district which is home to many of downtown Doha’s most dramatic skyscrapers. Overlooking the glittering Arabian Gulf, the hotel is adjacent to the lively Doha Corniche and 25 minutes from Hamad International Airport.

Guests at Centara West Bay Residences & Suites Doha can choose from a range of 265 stylish and spacious rooms including studios, suites, one- to three-bedroom apartments and spectacular penthouses.

Residences range in size from a roomy 45 square metres to an opulent 365 square metres and feature comfortable bedrooms, living and dining areas, well-equipped kitchens, washing machines and tumble dryers. This makes the hotel ideal for families and travellers on extended stays in Doha. All rooms also offer complimentary high-speed Wi-Fi and Smart TVs, while the floor-to-ceiling windows showcase stunning panoramic views of West Bay and the Gulf.

Perched on the 42^nd and top floor of the hotel, the ultra-luxurious Orchid Sea View Penthouse is a luxurious retreat for up to nine adults and two children. Complete with marble floors and high ceilings, this expansive apartment features four bedrooms, several bathrooms including one with a Jacuzzi, and a majestic living and dining area with breathtaking vistas.
Centara West Bay Residences & Suites Doha also offers guests and foodies an appealing new culinary destination with a collection of contemporary dining outlets and progressive menus developed by skilled international restaurant consultant, Alfred Prasad, who previously oversaw the 4 restaurants in the Tamarind Collection, including the Michelin-starred Tamarind Restaurant in Mayfair, London.

Chef Prasad is the expert behind Dalchini restaurant which serves progressive Indian cuisine. Guests can also enjoy food delights at Caprice, a casual, café-inspired international restaurant, the elegant Lobby Lounge and a refreshing Pool Bar. Whilst all restaurants are set to take the Doha dining scene by storm, guests will have to wait a little longer to try the Indian delights of Dalchini which will have its grand opening in January. Exquisite in-room dining is also available and all residences have their own cooking and dining facilities.

Guests have plenty of opportunities for rest and rejuvenation at the hotel, with steam rooms or saunas, an indoor pool with views of the Gulf, and a spacious fitness centre with a Yoga and aerobics studio. There is also kids’ club and children’s pool for younger guests, plus a gift shop, a prayer room and two flexible meeting rooms.

“Doha is one of the most exciting emerging destinations in the world today, and we are delighted to enter this important market with such an impressive new hotel. Centara West Bay Residences & Suites Doha delivers a full range of upscale facilities for all types of guest, from leisure visitors on short stays in Qatar to large family groups and long-stay business travellers. We look forward to welcoming guests as the city prepares to host a series of major global events,” commented Thirayuth Chirathivat, Chief Executive Officer, Centara Hotels and Resorts.

A key cultural and economic hub for the entire Middle East region, Doha is home to a wealth of cultural attractions including the historic Souq Waqif market, Museum of Islamic Art and State Grand Mosque, plus major shopping malls and soft sandy beaches. It is also becoming a global sporting destination, hosting the annual season-opening Qatar Open tennis tournament, 2019 IAAF World Athletics Championships, and of course, the 2022 FIFA World Cup.

The opening of Centara West Bay Residences & Suites Doha forms part of Centara’s strategic five-year development plan, which aims to double the company’s global portfolio of properties by 2022.
