The Plaza Doha, LXR Hotels & Resorts

Old-school luxury in a surprising location
VERIFIED LUXURY

Just a short drive from Hamad International Airport and the sparkling lights of West Bay, and an even shorter walk to museums and the iconic Corniche, The Plaza Doha, LXR Hotels & Resorts has an ideal location for both business and leisure travelers.

The Plaza Doha does not skimp on the luxurious details. “Elegant” is the key word for this hotel, from the soaring lobby to the understated rooms and the gilded details.

The show-stopping lobby sets the scene, bookended by sweeping staircases and overseen by a cascading glass chandelier. The centerpiece is a surprising one-of-a-kind statue – the Babolex Falcon Gold by French contemporary artist Vincent Faudemer. European-inspired furnishings, marble bathrooms and high-end finishings throughout the hotel amp up the wow factor.

The hotel boasts three restaurants, including the all-day New York brunch export Sarabeth’s and a lobby lounge as popular for business meetings as it is for its menu of classic Arabic and Mediterranean dishes.

The glamorous rooftop infinity pool is complemented by a hot tub and another smaller pool. A gold tiled sauna, a hot and cold area and a fully equipped state-of-the-art gym round out the leisure offerings.
