Many travellers use Doha merely as a transit destination on routes to Asia, Africa and Oceania, after all the airport is the hub of Qatar Airways and strategically well located in the Middle East. However, those planning a longer stay in Qatar’s capital – whether for business or leisure – will find a number of luxury hotels in the city on the Persian Gulf. Those wishing to stay not only in style but also enjoy additional benefits can take advantage of attractive extras when booking through MO Luxe Hotels: complimentary breakfast, hotel credit, room upgrades, late check-out and more – regardless of whether you hold hotel status or not.
Fairmont Doha (Accor Live Limitless)
The originally North American luxury brand, which has been part of the French Accor group for several years, can be found in Doha within the iconic building known as Katara Towers. The structure resembles a futuristic spaceship and was opened in 2022 for the FIFA World Cup, since becoming a symbol of Qatar. The 362 guest rooms and suites at Fairmont draw inspiration from luxurious yacht design, combining dark wood with white leather and all featuring a balcony with breathtaking views of the ocean and the skyline. The hotel offers five restaurants and bars showcasing cuisines ranging from Latin American to Asian, two outdoor pools and one indoor pool, as well as the expansive Fairmont Spa & Fitness. Guests booking the Fairmont Gold category can enjoy additional luxury in the Gold Lounge, which offers afternoon tea, cocktails and canapés, along with further privileges such as a dedicated check-in area, private sun loungers by the pool and butler service.
