Raffles Doha

Inside one of Doha’s most intriguing buildings, the striking Katara Towers that resemble two glassy crossed swords, this world-famous hotel brand has brought its sophistication to the seafront of Qatar. You can expect highly personalised service and exclusive dining experiences, all set within a modern and elegant property that sets the hospitality bar high. 

Each suite here overlooks the sea and the city, making the most of those views with floor-to-ceiling windows, while bathrooms are spa-like in their design, with marble-clad counters and walls, and gold trimmings around the deep bathtubs and twin sinks. The whole property has a bright, breezy and refreshing ambience, and personal rejuvenation can be found in its blissful spa, which takes a holistic approach to your wellness journey. 

Really, though, it’s eating here that’s most exciting: Michelin-starred chef Enrico Crippa creates northern Italian masterpieces in his ALBA restaurant, while brilliant brunches can be had beneath the vaulted ceilings at L’Artisan. Don’t miss an evening spent in the Acoustic Music Penthouse, too, where cocktails and jazz mix to create a thrilling rooftop bar.
