History
Raffles Doha opened in November 2022 inside Katara Towers in Lusail, a new all-suite hotel of 132 suites in the crossed-scimitar towers. The official brand describes it as a symbol of luxury and a modern-day masterpiece within Katara Towers, with all-suite accommodation and butler service. The twin-tower, crescent-inspired form ties the property to Qatar’s national symbolism and to Lusail’s waterfront development. The hotel is notable for positioning Raffles’ signature service in one of Doha’s most prominent contemporary architectural landmarks.
The setting
Raffles Doha rises within the companion tower of Katara Towers, the iconic crossed-scimitar landmark on Marina East Street of Lusail Marina District that has defined Doha's skyline since the 2022 FIFA World Cup. The six-star all-suite hotel's terraces look directly over the Lusail Marina Promenade — four minutes on foot. Katara Cultural Village is twenty-seven minutes by car, The Pearl-Qatar thirty-four. Within Lusail, Doha's boldest new urban quarter, Raffles claims the most singular address: a civic monument whose architecture alone signals the brand's exceptional ambitions in Qatar. 6 km from Doha Golf Club. 27 km from Hamad International Airport.
