This incredible work of art has finally come to light and is now available for everyone to enjoy.”

Located on the 23rd floor of the property, the penthouse suite offers incredible attention to detail combined with panoramic 360-degree views of Doha’s landscape. Throughout the hotel, Wanders’ signature floating staircase and hand-painted One-Minute Delft blue vases set a striking and sophisticated atmosphere, while locally-inspired features such as custom-designed Dean Majilis sofas and a “cabinet of information”, connects guests with the fascinating history and culture of the region.
