Sun-drenched openable windows, stylish gold accents and sophisticated lighting fixtures fill the vast open spaces with light, and with balconies and sea views in every room, all guests can enjoy amazing orange-red sunsets over the sparkling waters of this magical island.
The residences’ appeal will go well beyond the hardware structure, according to Hassan El Wahidi, General Manager, Hilton Doha The Pearl Residences. “We intend to establish a strong reputation for superior and uncompromising products and services across Qatar’s leisure and business tourism offerings. We aim to make this breakthrough property a preferred choice for long and short stay guests by offering everything you could want in a hotel filled with everything you need in a home, as well as a local social hub and an exceptional business and events option,” he explained.

El Wahidi has confirmed that the residences will be committed to sustainability. “We are striving to ensure these are eco-conscious residences through the implementation of fully biodegradable and plastic-free policies. As a company, Hilton is committed to sustainable travel and tourism. This commitment is evident at Hilton Doha The Pearl Residences which will avoid plastic bottles and pens; while using take away cups with compostable lids, biodegradable coffee capsules and linen napkins in lieu of paper napkins and much more all in line with Hilton’s goal to cut its environmental footprint in half and double its social impact investment by 2030,” he explained.
El Wahidi also emphasised the property’s commitment to a diverse and inclusive workforce. “We are committed to total workplace inclusivity and gender diversity. Our staff will represent numerous different cultures and backgrounds from over 46 countries, of which 50% are women. All these efforts are in line with Hilton’s Travel with Purpose corporate responsibility strategy.”
