A giant Tiffany & Co. clock and blue mohair sofa in the lobby set the Waldorf Astoria Doha West Bay’s influences and luxurious intentions early.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Set in the West Bay diplomatic district, the hotel sits a short walk from the coastal corniche and the Exhibition and Convention Center.
The rooms
Soft eggshell blue palettes meet curved Art Deco furnishings, while marble bathrooms feature double vanities and deep soaking tubs overlooking the skyline.
The indoor pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Sicis glass mosaics line the indoor pool, which sits beneath a stepped ceiling and floor-to-ceiling city views.
The spa
Treatment rooms feature heated sand quartz beds, singing bowls, and private therapy spaces overlooking the skyline.
Sauna and gym
A glass-fronted wooden sauna looks out across the gulf, alongside studios equipped with Technogym machines.
Dogs stay too.
At the table
Dining spans Latin American cuisine by Mauro Colagreco at Muru, speakeasy cocktails, and tea at Peacock Alley.
How it began
The 44-story tower was conceived as a tribute to 1930s New York grand hotels, blending classic Art Deco motifs with local Qatari heritage.
