With the Holy Month right around the corner, most hotels and resorts in Qatar have announced attractive packages to make the most of the domestic market.

“We want to give the best-ever offer for Ramadan this year and we’re expecting good response from locals and expatriates,” an official with a five-star hotel was quoted as saying by Qatar Tribune.

The Oryx Rotana hotel recently launched a unique offer that allows all guests with a valid Qatari ID to stay with them during weekends for a competitive price of QR350 per night. There are also discounted rates on its Spa centres, health and fitness clubs, and food and beverage outlets.

Concorde Hotel’s General Manager Mashour Refai was hopeful of generating good revenues during Ramadan season.

“This is the first Ramadan after the unjust blockade was imposed on the country and we’re convinced that the local population will show the same support and solidarity to the hospitality sector it showed last year,” he was quoted as saying by Qatar Tribune.

Since most people will not be travelling to neighbouring countries this year, hotels in the country are expecting great revenues this year.

City Centre Rotana Doha has promised to upgrade all room reservations for Rotana Rewards Exclusive members to the suites when reserving two nights. There will also be an additional discount of 50% in the hotel’s outlets for four people, including suhours and iftars.
