Oryx Airport Hotel, situated within Doha's Hamad International Airport, has been honoured with the “distinguished” accolade of being selected as one of the ‘Top 100 Hotels & Resorts of the World by Luxury Lifestyle Awards.
The hotel has garnered a reputation for providing an “incomparable” experience of hospitality, tranquillity, and rejuvenation for travellers.
Centrally located in the south plaza of the airport, next to the iconic Lamp Bear, Oryx Airport Hotel is conveniently connected by the passenger train within the airport’s North and South Plazas.
In a move towards sustainability, the hotel has replaced all plastic water bottles with eco-friendly water containers. It spearheaded this initiative as the first hotel in Qatar to introduce these recyclable containers, in line with the Qatar National Vision 2030’s environmental preservation objectives and aligned with Hamad International Airport’s commitment to environmental stewardship.
Philippe Anric, vice-president (Operations – Dhiafatina Hotels) at Qatar Airways, said, “Our goal is to continue delivering Qatari hospitality while preserving our nation’s environment and ensuring sustainability. By shifting away from plastic to eco-friendly alternatives, we aim to significantly reduce single-use plastic waste.”
Additionally, the hotel has introduced various sustainable measures, including the implementation of bamboo keycards, recycled paper for printing collaterals, the replacement of all plastic bottles with Eco Pure PET bottles, and eco-friendly guestroom amenities.
The commitment to sustainability also extends to dining options with the introduction of paper straws, wooden cutlery, and other environmentally conscious practices across the hotel’s offerings.
