The Harrods Tea Room

Qatar Duty Free to open first airport Harrods Tea Room at HIA

Qatar Duty Free (QDF) is set to open a Harrods Tea Room at Hamad International Airport (HIA) later this year, offering passengers a range of Harrods specialities. According to QDF, HIA will be the only airport in the world to house a Harrods Tea Room, adding to its existing portfolio of two Harrods signature stores at the state-of-the-art hub. The Harrods Tea Room will be located at the heart of the terminal next to the iconic Lamp Bear and will present a selection of teas from Harrods Food Halls, along with a menu of pastries. The tea room will also feature an ice-cream parlour. Qatar Duty Free Senior Vice President Bruce Bowman said: “Qatar Duty Free believes in providing its customers with the finest experiences and we have expanded our partnership with the iconic Harrods brand to do just that. “We are very much looking forward to unveiling the Harrods Tea Room at HIA later this year and are certain that this launch will delight passengers travelling through the airport; a destination with shopping, dining and five-star facilities catering to the needs and tastes of travellers from around the globe.” Harrods International Director Raj Assanand said: “Since its inception, Harrods has been famous for bringing the finest tea experiences to customers around the world. We are delighted to be launching this new venture at HIA.” The history of Harrods spans over 170 years. The retailer, which is renowned for its quality, luxury product offer, started its story as a tea merchant. The retailer’s relationship with tea growers continues to this day, with over 170 teas sold at the Knightsbridge Store in London. As revealed by DFNI in January, Qatar Duty Free is undergoing a flagship retail and dining overhaul as part of the expansion of HIA.
