• Element City Center Doha - 283 rooms
• Element Doha West Bay - 180 apartments
• Al Samriya, Autograph Collection - 62 rooms, 26 villas
• Marriott Executive Apartments City Center Doha

They've gone a bit heavy with the City Center branding [the majority of Marriott's Doha properties will carry that name], but five new brands will enter the local market. The release mentions that the Executive Apartments property will be a conversion, so I believe that - barring any other acquisition ARTIC may pick up - the new Curio-branded Aleph Residences will switch over to Marriott. The Delta is also going into what was supposed to open as the Hyatt Centric West Bay Doha.
