Challenge:

How to bring adventure attractions to a hotel.

Creative Solution:

Built for the FIFA World Cup 2022, the Waldorf Astoria Lusail in Doha faced the challenge of standing out among over 100 new hotel properties. To achieve this, WhiteWater collaborated with the hotel to develop a distinctive, intertwined Adventure Trail and AquaCourse. This set of attractions merges dry and wet elements, providing an exciting combination of climbing, ziplines, and water play, all within a compact footprint.

Unlike larger properties like Hilton Salwa’s Desert Falls Waterpark, the Waldorf Astoria offered guests the balance of a more intimate yet engaging adventure sports experience, all without having to leave the hotel. With adventure sports gaining popularity in the region, this mix of activities appeals to a broad audience, ensuring guests stay entertained on-site with options for both wet and dry fun.
