But this is no ordinary building.

The Katara Towers cross like the two swords and are meant to pay homage to Qatar’s national emblem.

Located in the city’s green district Lusail, Katara Towers opened to the public in January 2023.

Raffles is an all-suite accommodation offering stunning views of the Gulf and downtown.

The rooftop bar is filled with gold-veined marble as a contemporary nod to the Silk Route.

Guests are invited to take in live music and sip on a cocktail on the outdoor terrace.

Across the way at the Fairmont Doha, there’s also no shortage of special experiences.

This part of the tower takes design inspiration from its location on the water.

Every room and suite was designed to make guests feel like they are staying on a luxury yacht.

As such, the crisp, white decor gives a light and airy feel to the space.

For families, Fairmont Doha also provides daycare as well as a kids' club filled with activities.
