This 132-suite 5-star destination strikes a distinctive pose on Doha's lively waterfront and is ideally located close to many attractions and a bustling entertainment district. Synonymous with ultra-luxury, the well-known Raffles brand is reimagined in spectacular fashion in Qatar's capital. Raffles Doha resides within the waterfront Katara Towers, an innovative, 37-storey landmark with a design inspired by the crossed swords of the country's seal, symbolising strength, power and authority.

The property's crescent-shaped exterior... Property highlights: The structure's other “sword” houses sister hotel Fairmont Doha and guests can easily walk between the two to sample other restaurants and experiences. Alba by Enrico Crippa has its own dine-in wine cellar and one of the largest and most distinctive selections of wine of any hotel in the capital city. The Royal Suite has its own elevator and comes with a private spa, hair salon, gym and home theater. If that's not enough, there's also a game room with a billiards table and a traditional majlis (a communal gathering space). Every evening in the Blue Cigar Writer's Lounge you can listen to the hotel's book sommelier read from one of thousands of classic books in their collection and hear the history behind the work's title. The spa offers the usual luxurious massages and facials as well as pedicure and treatments from international recognized chiropodist Bastien Gonzalez. What to know: Raffles Doha sits in a purpose-built new city just outside of Doha. While the area is coming alive, there are not many major sights or restaurants in walking distance. Hamad International Airport is roughly 17 miles to the south. Plan for an early or late flight because Doha's traffic can be mercurial. All suites have dramatic views, but some also provide a vista across to the “other twin” tower in the complex. There is no nearby beach, but the hotel has a luxurious 55-meter pool with private cabanas. Treatments: The Rooms The Marcel Wanders-designed interiors have touches of whimsy interlaced with neutral linens and furnishings, all accented by intricate gold Qatari-inspired geometric feature walls. Some suites have domed and vaulted ceilings, replicating Qatari and Arabian design elements. The smallest of the 132 Raffles suites, the Gulf Suite, clocks in at a generous 753 square feet with a separate living and dining area. The largest is the two-bedroom Royal Suite, which covers nearly 10,000 square feet and has its own pool. The 4,337-square-foot Parisian Suite spans the entire 30th floor and is equipped with its own wine cellar, a four-poster bed and a feature bar area. Guests are taken care of by the personalized Raffles Butler Service. The “Butler Rituals” include packing and unpacking, drawing an end-of-day bath, writing special welcome notes or helping to plan your daily activities. Each suite houses a treat-filled treasure chest. Behind two dazzling gold doors is a walk-in mirrored bar with a sink, a bean-to-cup coffee machine, a sleep kit as well as a fridge stocked with all the goodies you need for a great stay. Amenities: Marina District, Lusail City, PO Box 4747, Doha, Qatar; Price: No rooms available Rooms: 132 Rooms The new seaside city of Lusail, just to the north of Doha proper, is home to the memorable Katara Towers, an architectural symbol of the crossed swords that comprise Qatar's national emblem. And inside one of the crescent-shaped towers is the spectacular Raffles Doha, a hotel that surely merits consideration on any short list of the world's most luxurious lodgings. A mind-boggling degree of ornamentation is tempered by an impressively tasteful sensibility, and the facilities are comprehensively first-rate. | This venue |
