Inside Doha's Newest Luxury Stay ‘Rosewood'
One of the world's most iconic luxury hotel brands, Rosewood is finally opening its doors in Doha. One of the world's most anticipated new luxury hotels is finally opening its doors in the Gulf. A sculptural marvel rising along the Lusail Marina promenade, Rosewood Doha is now officially accepting reservations for stays starting July 15th. Designed by acclaimed Qatari architect Ibrahim Jaidah and styled by Lilian Wu, the hotel draws inspiration from Qatar's marine heritage, channeling the curves of traditional dhow boats, the delicacy of seashells, and the shimmer of coastal light. From its coral-inspired architecture to the sculpted asymmetry of its modern mashrabiya screens, the building doesn't just sit on the edge of the sea—it echoes it. Featuring 155 rooms and suites, 162 serviced apartments, and 276 branded residences, the hotel offers eight distinct dining concepts, including a Levantine brasserie open 24 hours and a Mediterranean restaurant with seasonal menus. Completing the experience is the members-only Asaya Wellness Club, blending ancient healing traditions with modern innovation.
