The Orient meets Arabia in this magnificent city hotel in Doha’s Msheireb district. With interiors crafted by the award-winning David Collins Studio, the Mandarin Oriental Hotel weaves the patterns of Qatar’s rich heritage into its exquisite Asian design. Each of the rooms, suites, apartments and villas is decorated to the standard for which the Mandarin Oriental group has become renowned. Some of the villas and apartments have private plunge pools and courtyards. 

Dining at the Mandarin Oriental turns every meal into an unforgettable occasion. Mosaic is open all day long from breakfast onwards, serving up a diverse range of East-meets-West dishes inspired by the legendary Silk Road. The restaurant also boasts spectacular views of Baharat Msheireb, the Corniche and beyond to West Bay. Take a trip to southern China with dinner at Liang and its authentic Cantonese cuisine. Overlooking the Msheireb town square, the Bahara Lounge is a great place for a casual lunch, while IZU serves up the colourful flavours of the French Mediterranean coast. If you fancy a traditional afternoon tea after sightseeing, then the Mandarin Lounge, with its outdoor terrace, is a delightful venue. Or you can beat the fierce Qatari heat with an ice cream at Gelato. Get your pastry fix at the Mandarin Cake Shop, which serves up a gorgeous array of confections. And as the sun goes down on this exciting city, head up to Aqua on the rooftop for a drink and a light snack, or Ambar after dark, for the coolest, jazz-inspired cocktails.
