Qatar’s exciting new lifestyle hospitality offering Mondrian Doha, operated by sbe, has announced it is now accepting reservations for the soon-to-open luxury property.

Mondrian Doha is sbe’s first hotel in the Middle East and the introduction of the Mondrian brand to the region.

“We’re delighted to now be in a position to take bookings for Mondrian Doha, and are very much looking forward to opening our first hotel in the middle east in Doha, Qatar, which is one of the most dynamic cities in the region,” said sbe Chief Operating Officer Jorge Giannattasio.

The lavish 270-room hotel has been designed in collaboration with world-renowned Dutch designer Marcel Wanders, along with South West Architecture — responsible for the building’s design. The hotel will be an exceptional lifestyle offering for Doha and will be Marcel Wanders’ first hotel for the region. 

Guests can choose from five distinctive room categories including a penthouse suite, studio suites, one and two bedroom suites and a range of standard guestrooms — all of which share the universal design details of Swarovski crystal chandeliers and sumptuous bespoke furniture in hues to mirror the desert.

Located on the 23rd floor, the impeccable penthouse suite offers incredible attention to detail combined with panoramic 360-degree views of Doha throughout.

Wanders’ iconic floating staircase and hand-painted One-Minute Delft blue vases set a striking and sophisticated atmosphere, while other locally-inspired features such as custom-designed Dean Majilis sofas and a “cabinet of information” filled with objects and details allow guests to familiarise themselves with the fascinating history and culture of the region.

The Penthouse Suite has a living room, master king bedroom and two twin bedrooms, dining room and entertainment room complete with a pool table and piano.

The hotel will incorporate bespoke Marcel Wanders design features with influences from the beauty of local patterns, ornate Arabic writing and historic souks.

The essence of One Thousand and One Nights, a collection of Middle Eastern folk tales and stories, has also influenced the design of the space, which is detailed-orientated and complex, with a number of facets, levels and layers.

Structurally, the building of Mondrian Doha is shaped like a falcon, with many references to the national bird of Qatar also found inside; from paintings and portraits to falcon headpieces and ornaments. 

With eight restaurants and bars, Mondrian Doha is a culinary emporium. Middle Eastern cuisine is at the heart of Mondrian Doha’s food and beverage offerings.

Mondrian Doha will also be home to ESPA Spa, representing the first in the region and one of the largest spas in Qatar.

Additional hotel facilities will include an entertainment floor complete with a nightclub, rooftop pool and Skybar.

The hotel will be taking bookings from October 1, 2017, with room rates starting at QR875 ($240) per night.
