Towering over the Arabian Gulf in the beating heart of the city, the magnificent Four Seasons Hotel Doha is a haven of Qatari luxury and grandeur. This year’s sensational new refurbishment has only accentuated this exquisite resort, with the addition of a sumptuous Library Bar and Cigar Lounge, a signature restaurant and an alfresco tea terrace.

Located on a charming private beach in the heart of the Qatari capital, Doha’s vibrant city life lies at your fingertips. Just a whisper to your erudite concierge will see you whisked away to the brilliant bazaars of Old Souq, or sipping sparkling champagne on a sunset Dhow cruise. After a busy day, stroll to the hotel’s exquisite spa, where 11 gorgeous treatment rooms, two beauty salons, a health-food cafe and a spectacular ice room await. The couples or honeymooners decadent Couple Chocolate Delight ritual and exfoliating coffee scrub is not to be missed.

Four Seasons Hotel Doha’s 9 spectacular restaurants offer extraordinary quality and variety. Serving world-famous Japanese fusion cuisine, Nobu Doha lies in a swirling shell-shaped structure atop the glittering Arabian Gulf. Pool Grill offers rustic beachfront dining and sensual flavours of the Josper oven, while artisanal beverages and modern Arabic cuisine are offered above the shimmering waves at The Pier. The sensational spectrum of flavours from Japan, China, Thailand and India make Elements a favourite among guests and locals alike. Pass balmy afternoons in the delightfully English Tea Lounge, or drink in the casual elegance of Arabica Café. In the evenings, enjoy sensual shishas and sea breezes at the Terrace, or head to The Library Bar and Cigar Lounge for a crisp martini and a perfect Cuban cigar.

The 237 newly renovated rooms and suites offer glittering views of Doha’s skyline or striking sunsets over the Arabian Gulf. Renowned French designer Pierre-Yves Rochon has transformed these luxurious spaces, with mother of pearl inlays, Arabic motifs and a perfect infusion of classic and contemporary luxury. Breezy palettes of white and blue evoke a sense of tranquillity, and the stylish marble bathrooms offer deep soaking tubs and spacious showers.

Two of the five pools are designed especially for children and families and the Kids For All Seasons runs an excellent programme of activities for children aged 4-12. An attentive concierge is on hand to arrange all manners of family adventures, from 4X4 dune bashing to dhow-boat cruises.
