Two new hotels in scimitar towers opened in Doha Design 22.11.2022 Two new design hotels have opened in Doha for the FIFA World Cup, located in the towers of a skyscraper built in the Lusail district Lusail is the city of the future, built for the 2022 FIFA World Cup, which opened on November 20 in Qatar. It is located about ten kilometers north of the center of Doha and is a satellite city of the capital of Qatar. Back in the early 2000s, there was an ordinary fishing village, the main attraction of which was a mobile communication tower, and the main cultural center was a local cement factory. And in just one decade, a modern metropolis has grown here with an ultramodern stadium where the final match of the World Cup will be played, landscaped embankments, artificial islands and skyscrapers.

It has already become a local attraction: football fans coming from all over the world are happy to take selfies against the background of an unusual crescent-shaped building (or “horns”, as tourists aptly called it) standing on the shore of the Persian Gulf. And someone was even lucky to live in it: two luxury hotels Raffles Doha and Fairmont Doha opened in the towers for the World Cup.

The number of rooms of the first hotel consists of 132 suites and suites, including themed rooms with separate rooms for spa treatments and an exclusive two-storey Royal Suite with butler services. There are several fine dining restaurants, including ALBA, under the leadership of Chef Enrico Crippa, awarded 3 Michelin stars.
