About Waldorf Astoria Doha West Bay
- The interiors are the work of HBA London, which deliberately referenced the 1930s Art Deco language of the original Waldorf Astoria New York, striking main entrance, artworks, and 283 rooms and suites alongside 50 residential apartments.
- MURU, helmed by Argentine-born chef Mauro Colagreco (three Michelin stars at Mirazur; World's Best Restaurant 2019), opened 16 February 2024 on the fifth floor, structured around elemental cooking with fire, water, earth, and air.
- YUN on the 44th floor serves modern Cantonese and Taishanese cuisine in a setting inspired by 1930s Hong Kong tea houses and earned a listing in the 2026 Michelin Guide Qatar, pairing the city's highest Chinese restaurant with some of its widest West Bay views.
- The hotel won both Middle East's Leading New Hotel and Qatar's Leading Luxury Hotel at the 2024 World Travel Awards, as well as the SBID International Design Awards for both Hotel Bedroom & Suites and Hotel Public Space Design.
History
Waldorf Astoria Doha West Bay is a 44-story luxury hotel in Doha that officially opened in 2023 under the Waldorf Astoria brand and marked its one-year anniversary in October 2024. Hilton’s property page describes it as a refined destination with rooms, suites, and residences featuring floor-to-ceiling windows and designer furnishings. The hotel has quickly built a food-and-beverage identity around Peacock Alley, The Cortland Bar, Ledoux, Muru, YUN, Tribeca Market, a Cigar Lounge, and Al Fayrouz Terrace. In 2024, Hilton’s Spanish property page noted the hotel had 283 rooms and suites plus 50 apartments, and cited Qatar Tourism honors for Best New Hotel / Outstanding New Accommodation and Best New Restaurant / Outstanding New Restaurant for YUN.
The setting
Waldorf Astoria Doha West Bay occupies Al Shaghya Street in Al Dafna, the epicentre of West Bay's diplomatic and commercial quarter, where Qatar's tallest towers and the Doha Exhibition and Convention Centre establish the city's most prestigious business address. Gulf beaches are approximately 250 metres away; the Doha Corniche is fourteen minutes by car; Katara Cultural Village twenty-three minutes. The DECC metro on the Red Line provides direct airport connectivity, and City Center Mall is adjacent. JW Marriott Marquis and W Doha each sit within 323 metres, confirming this as Doha's most concentrated luxury corridor, where grand-hotel formality commands the Gulf's most consequential modern skyline.
