The Ritz-Carlton, Doha

The Ritz-Carlton, Doha sits on the edge of the Arabian Gulf, between the retail density of Lagoona Mall and the residential towers of The Pearl-Qatar. It acts as a base for those spending their days at the nearby Katara Cultural Village.

While many properties in this area compete on proximity to the city center, this hotel offers an isolated stretch of private beach. You choose this location for the space it provides; it is far quieter than the hotels wedged into the West Bay business district. The room runs formal, and the presence of both indoor and outdoor pools ensures you can remain active during the afternoons. It is a better pick for a retreat than the busier towers closer to the downtown core.
