Kempinski’s flagship hotel in Doha is
surely one of its grandest, anywhere. Located
on its own island, off the north coast of
the city, only the absence of a drawbridge
stops it looking like something from Game
of Thrones. That there are 281 rooms
— including 69 suites, two ‘presidential’ and
two ‘royal’ — only begins to tell the story of
just how palatial the Marsa Malaz is. Of its
dining options, Al Sufra is perhaps the top
pick, with a menu that dances through the
best of regional cuisine.
ROOMS: Doubles from £220, B&B.
