[2025 Lusail Stay] Travel Guide for Raffles Doha (Updated Apr)

This newly opened hotel in the north of Doha city center in 2022 has a unique crescent-shaped shape, which is very attractive. It looks a bit like a devil's horn, which is completely different from the feeling in the picture. The interior of the hotel is full of Middle Eastern style, and the chandeliers and mosaic decorations in the lobby are indescribably luxurious. After resting for a while in the lobby, the front desk manager enthusiastically took us on a tour of the entire hotel, providing smiling service throughout the entire process. The room is really big, and the whole room is controlled by iPad. It has electric toilet, electric shower, electric bathtub, etc. There are also hand-made custom furniture, and the details are full. Because it is on a high floor, the view is particularly good. Outside the window is the sea view of the Persian Gulf 🌊 and the city skyline. When the lights come on at night, it is so beautiful that I am at a loss for words. Breakfast desserts and bread are served buffet style, and other items must be ordered from the menu. The products are very exquisite, and the signature waffles are in the shape of the hotel, which is very beautiful. The hotel does not have a beach but does offer transfers to a nearby beach/club complex. All other necessary leisure facilities are available, including a gym, spa, swimming pool, etc. The swimming pool and the sea view are seamlessly connected, making for great photos in the evening.

The hotel is a must-see landmark in Doha. It's a top-tier hotel in Qatar. Here are some tips for choosing a room (exclusive)! The rooms at the Raffles Doha are mainly categorized by size and view. Rooms are either larger or smaller than 100 sqm. Rooms larger than 100 sqm are called "signature" rooms. Rooms are also categorized by view: urban view, crescent view (overlooking the Fairmont Hotel, half city view and half sea view), and Gulf view. The Crescent Suite is a popular room type. It's perfect for taking photos. However, the Fairmont Hotel across the street also has rooms with the same view and they're cheaper. The downside of this room type is the lack of privacy. You can see everything from the balcony. I personally recommend the sea view rooms. They offer privacy and a view of Al Maha Island from the balcony. Al Maha Island is home to Doha's top restaurants. You can also see the Ferris wheel. If you're lucky, you might catch the sunset! (Most sea view suites have balconies, but some don't. If you want a balcony, make sure to contact the hotel after booking!) By the way, the hotel only has two twin rooms. They're sea view suites located on the 26th and 27th floors. The rooms offer a sea view from the bathroom and a spacious living room. They're perfect for guests who prefer twin beds! The hotel also has some hidden themed suites. They're larger than 300 sqm and offer next-level luxury. They're rarely available for booking. If you're interested, you'll need to contact the hotel. Don't miss the cinema on the first floor of the Raffles. English movies are shown every afternoon. The cinema is only open to guests of the two hotels. The cinema is luxurious and the colors match the hotel's elevator. The spa is also a must-try. I recommend the facial treatment. The products used are from Dr Burgener, a top-tier skincare brand from Switzerland. If you're interested, you can find out more.

If you’re looking for Afternoon Tea in the most luxurious hotel in Doha, then you must dine in the Malaki Lounge at the Raffles Doha Hotel! I loved the hotel-shaped tea stand and waffle! It really sets their tea time apart from any other afternoon tea arrangement. There’s an assortment of sweet and savory bites, a selection of classic teas, and even a rose flavored sparkly welcome drink! The service was wonderful as expected. I was greeted warmly by my dear friend Hajar, whom I had met during my last visit to Raffles Doha. Without a doubt, I highly recommend Raffles Doha for dinner, afternoon tea, and/or your Doha hotel accommodation. You will not be disappointed with this opulent hotel’s illustrious decor, delectable dining, and exceptional hospitality. ✨ #FineDiningOnly #RafflesDoha #MalakiLounge #Doha #Qatar #Afternoontea #teaparty

Qatar is the tenth country I have arrived at on my global trip this year. Doha is the capital and largest city of Qatar, as well as its political, economic, cultural, and transportation center~ As a must-visit stop when touring Qatar, the mystery and beauty of this city is beyond imagination~ The best season to visit Doha is from November to March of the following year. During this period, Doha is cool and comfortable, with sunny beaches, magnificent deserts, modern art, and historical culture all available. The fifth stop on this trip to Qatar is the Royal Amiri Hotel in Doha~ Explorer Suite, the view is very good! You can also overlook the landmark building where the Raffles Hotel in Doha is located~ The design inspiration of the hotel comes from the charm of the French Riviera in the 1960s. The pearl shell chandeliers and coral reef artworks on the walls of the hotel lobby are also full of praise for Qatar's pearl diving history. The entire building of the Royal Amiri Hotel in Doha is connected to Vendome Square~ This old luxury shopping center from France is quite in line with the temperament of the Amiri Hotel born in Paris! At the beginning of the month, after booking the Royal Amiri, I received an email from the hotel~ You can arrange a VIP shopping trip to Place Vendôme, in tax-free Qatar~ Of course you have to come and stroll!

I had a long layover in Doha, Qatar and decided to visit the fairly new Raffles Doha hotel. I was mind blown by its immense beauty and regal atmosphere. I’ve been to several beautiful hotels but none of them compare to how stunning this one is. The staff is outstanding! Although I was only visiting for dinner, they still treated me like I was a guest staying at their hotel. One of the staff members, Hajar, gave me a tour of the hotel and even took pictures of me in the gorgeous lobby. Dinner at L’Artisan was excellent! I was quickly saddened when I remembered I had to return to the airport. I was so impressed by the hospitality at Raffles that I’ve booked my Christmas vacation there and I can’t wait to return to Raffles Doha in just one short month! The rooms are pricey, starting around $900USD per night but I know it is absolutely worth it! If you’re ever in Doha, make sure to add Raffles Doha on your list, even if just for dinner! ✨ #luxuryhotels #falltrip #Doha #Raffles

#fallingseason Raffles Doha, nestled in the heart of the vibrant capital of Qatar, is a luxurious sanctuary that takes on a special charm in autumn. The hotel's contemporary architecture and opulent interior design create an inviting and comfortable ambiance, perfect for the season. Autumn in Doha brings milder temperatures, allowing you to fully enjoy the hotel's outdoor spaces, such as the lavish pool area and serene courtyards. The rooftop bars and restaurants, like the Zengo and The White Oryx, offer spectacular views and exquisite culinary experiences. Exploring the city's cultural attractions is a breeze from Raffles Doha, with the Museum of Islamic Art and Souq Waqif just a short drive away. In autumn, these locations are especially appealing with pleasant weather for strolling and exploring. The combination of impeccable service, luxury, and the charm of the season makes Raffles Doha an unforgettable destination for an autumn getaway in the heart of Qatar. #qatar #doha
