Set along the Lusail Marina promenade, Rosewood Doha debuts as an experience-rich retreat at the confluence of tradition and progress.
The property invites guests to engage with a new expression of luxury in Qatar’s “City of the Future”—where desert breezes, ocean rhythms, and immersive storytelling converge in every detail.
Positioned at the leading edge of Lusail, Rosewood Doha introduces a bold architectural presence inspired by the coral formations of the Arabian Gulf—a vertical expression of land and sea. Sculpted façades and asymmetric mashrabiya patterns reinterpret regional design through a modern lens, while interiors draw from the curves of dhow boats and seashells. A sensory narrative unfolds through organic textures, nuanced materials, and the warm aroma of Arabic coffee, dates, and bakhoor. More than a hotel, Rosewood Doha is immersed in Qatar’s creative present—offering guests a refined connection to the country’s evolving cultural canvas, where past and future, ritual and innovation, are thoughtfully interwoven.
“This is a landmark moment for us. Rosewood Doha is a reflection of Lusail’s extraordinary vision—a city that dares to dream beyond the present. We’ve approached every detail of this property with care and curiosity, crafting spaces and experiences that resonate with both the heritage of the region and the rhythm of its future. It’s a journey we’re excited to share.” - Juan Samso, Managing Director
Design takes center stage at Rosewood Doha, a striking architectural statement that houses 155 refined rooms and suites, 162 fully serviced apartments, and 276 Rosewood Residences—each space thoughtfully designed with intention and artistry. Architecture is led by Ibrahim Jaidah, Qatar’s most prominent architect, known for creating buildings that blend harmoniously with their surroundings and reflect the spirit of the community. More than just a structure, the property pays homage to Qatar’s marine heritage and natural wonders. Inspired by the vibrant coral reefs that line the Arabian Gulf and the historic art of pearl diving, the design bridges tradition and modernity. Coral reefs—vital to marine ecosystems—have long influenced Qatari culture, serving as both natural beauty and a source of sustenance.
The interiors are imagined by Lilian Wu, founder of Lilian Wu Studio, whose signature approach blends innovation, precision, and soul to craft spaces of exquisite character. Completing the design story is an art collection curated by Visto, with works carefully selected to narrate the country’s landscapes, traditions, and contemporary voice. These elements are further elevated by eight distinct restaurants and lounges, a wellness-focused social club—Asaya—and 3,477 square meters of event space, positioning Rosewood Doha as a convergence of culture, lifestyle, and elevated living.
Collaborations with celebrated Qatari artists bring additional depth to the property, with curated collections that showcase the nation’s creativity and honor its artistic legacy. Guests are invited to explore a range of works that celebrate Qatar’s landscapes, traditions, and stories—each thoughtfully placed throughout the hotel. In the signature suites, a bespoke chinaware collection designed by multidisciplinary artist Ghada Al Khater brings a touch of cultural storytelling to everyday rituals. The suites and residences feature artworks by Yasser Al Mulla, whose striking interpretations of the Qatari landscape infuse each space with natural rhythm and graphic beauty. In the hotel’s public areas, evocative photography by Eng. Azzam Al-Mannai, a Qatari underwater and wildlife photographer, captures the richness of Qatar’s natural environment—spanning marine life, desert landscapes, and aerial perspectives. These artistic elements are seamlessly woven into Rosewood Doha’s architecture and interiors, enriching its narrative of heritage, innovation, and contemporary elegance.
Culinary experiences at Rosewood Doha begin with a commitment to provenance and place. At the heart of this philosophy is Rosewood’s Partners in Provenance program, brought to life through a meaningful collaboration with Qatari farmer Jassim Al Kuwari, who runs Blessed Land Farm—a family-owned farm passed down through generations. Dedicated to cultivating organic, sustainable produce, the farm supplies ingredients directly to the hotel’s kitchens, ensuring peak freshness and a true connection to the land. This partnership reflects a broader culinary ethos—one rooted in sustainability, seasonality, and respect for Qatar’s agricultural heritage.
This foundation is brought to life across eight distinct dining concepts, including a 24-hour Levantine brasserie—celebrating the warmth and generosity of Middle Eastern cuisine—and a Mediterranean-inspired restaurant focused on oceanic, wellness-driven fare. Complementing these are globally influenced venues that celebrate craftsmanship and ritual. A signature bar, inspired by the Golden Age of travel, pays tribute to the artistry of mixology with every detail. A richly appointed cigar lounge offers an opulent setting for connection and escape, while an elegant all-day lounge serves as a destination for lunch, afternoon tea, and evening conversation. At its heart is the Butterfly Pâtisserie—an atelier-style showcase of handcrafted chocolates, refined pastries, and seasonal specialties, continuing a Rosewood legacy born in Hong Kong and Paris. Each venue adds depth to Rosewood Doha’s culinary narrative—where every dish is purposeful, and every setting tells a story.
For those seeking wellness, Asaya — the Social Wellness Club , offers a highly personalized and integrative approach to well-being. Rooted in the belief that true wellness is both individual and interconnected, Asaya provides a holistic journey that nurtures the physical, emotional, and mental self. Treatments and programs are thoughtfully inspired by local healing traditions and modern innovation, ranging from results-driven facials and restorative bodywork to mindfulness practices and movement therapies. Expert practitioners work closely with each guest to create bespoke experiences that align with personal goals and lifestyle needs. The serene, design-led spaces—including dedicated treatment suites, hydrotherapy areas, a state-of-the-art fitness center, and a tranquil social suite—provide an ideal setting for self-discovery and renewal. Whether guests seek stillness, energy, or transformation, Asaya invites them to pause, reconnect, and experience well-being as a way of life.
