The Ned Doha
Doha's cool, creative retreat
VERIFIED LUXURY
Here are five things to know about us:
1. We verify luxury. Our highly trained inspectors visit every property we rate, evaluating based on up to 900 objective criteria. Our hotel stays span a minimum of two nights.
2. We pay our own way. No one can buy a rating; all ratings are earned through our objective inspection process.
3. Our global team of inspectors are anonymous at all times, so they have the same experience as a typical guest.
4. While we inspect both service and facility, our Star Rating system emphasizes service because your experience at a hotel, restaurant or spa goes beyond looks — how it makes you feel is what you will remember most.
5. We started in1958 as Mobil Travel Guide, and we created the original Five-Star rating system for hospitality.

With a dress circle location on Doha’s Corniche, The Ned Doha’s building is, to put it mildly, iconic.Formerly the Ministry of the Interior office, the 1970s brutalist building by renowned Lebanese architect William Sednaoui, was repurposed in a remarkable renovation in 2022 and now houses The Ned Doha’s 90 rooms and suites, seven restaurants, a members-only club and a spa. It’s safe to say there is nothing like this hotel in Qatar and this is evident from your arrival, which takes you up a sweeping Hollywood-esque staircase, past the retro check-in desk and into the heart of the building. Every corner of the David Chipperfield-designed hotel — from the plush jewel-toned lobby seating to the midcentury modern guest rooms — is a vintage visual feast. The hotel’s other attractions radiate from the soaring central atrium, which also plays host to a bandstand, where a jazz trio sets up shop nightly to entertain guests.
The restaurants encompass everything from Italian classics at Cecconi’s to old-school burgers and hot dogs at Electric Diner to a full English breakfast at Millie’s Lounge.
