I dont know if W will be serving pork - not likely, but I know they will open in the next six month. Its the black building across the city center. Supposedly, the wet ( this is how the call the swimming pool) is black with red lights - WHOW i say. And the light costed more than the actual pool!!!!!!!!! Next year good things will happen to those who have waited:) WHATEVER/WHENEVER!!!!!!!!

Well Shangri-La and Renaissance haven't even begun construction to my knowledge. The Grand Hyatt is well underway by the Ritz, it's supposed to resembel the Sharq Village and Spa.

Word on the Street is that La Cigale came here with the promise that they would be allowed to serve pork by opening and now the powers that be are going back on their word, which is causing problems.

The W website says January, but word on the street is early spring. Looking at how fast La Cigale is opening, it more then likely won't be till late spring. It's the first of something like 14 starwood hotels that will be opening in the next couple of years.

W is a boutique hotel, which means that all the furniture and stuff is for sale. Cool eh. :) Just google W for more information, I promise you won't just get a bunch of Bush sites.

Hey San Diego, so pleased to find W fellows:) Indeed more places to go are on the way! W is supposed to be a very cool and New York style place - especially the living room concept. The word is that they are opening in May 2008.

How come you know so much about hotels in DOha? You happen to read a lot or you work for the industry?

Plus Shangri-la, Rotana, Renaissance Marriott, Courtyard Marriot and Merweb of City Centre Mall. More placed to go to which means hopefully more clubs and bars..!
