1. PRESS ACCOMMODATION ALLOCATION OVERVIEW

The Local Organising Committee of the 2019 IAAF World Athletics Championships has secured five press hotels. Four are near the Al Sadd area, which is in the heart of Doha city, and one in the Al Mansoura area near the old city. The hotels are just a short drive to some of the major attractions of the city such as the Corniche & Souq Waqif, and with an easy access to major malls of Doha like the City Centre and Villaggio. The Hamad Hospital is also close by. Other nearby attractions include Lusail City, Katara Cultural Village, The Corniche, Museum of Islamic Art, and Aspire Zone. The Hamad Internation-al Airport is about 20-minute drive from the press hotels.

The accommodation price includes breakfast and all hotels are modern and offer free Wi-Fi and 24-hour reception.

Media transport will be servicing the press hotels regularly, ensuring quick and easy connections to the Main Media Centre and competition venues. Additionally, there will be a Sub Press Centre at the Wyndham Hotel, which is just a short distance from the other three hotels and a ten minute drive from the Holiday Villa Hotel.
