About

An expert at acquisitions with a deep understanding of the real estate market – and an alumni of the prestigious Sorbonne University in Paris – Kamal Rhazali joined Katara Hospitality in 2013. Prior to this, he had a highly successful career as a private practice lawyer based in Paris, Dubai and Casablanca during which he advised a number of high-profile multinational companies. This experience no doubt sets him up incredibly well to lead the legal function of Katara Hospitality, which is no mean feat given that the company owns 22 of the most prestigious luxury hotels in the world outright, and operates many more. The company being backed by Qatar’s sovereign wealth fund allows it to maintain a highly active corporate strategy that prizes a constantly expanding portfolio. This looks set to continue for many years, with Rhazali’s immense experience in M&A work providing excellent support to Katara Hospitality’s endeavours.
