The Mondrian opens in Doha

The Mondrian Doha opens in October 2017, with 270 rooms consisting of five different categories – penthouse suites, studio suites, one- and two-bedroom suites and standard rooms. All the rooms and suites feature Swarovski crystal chandeliers and sumptuous bespoke furniture in hues to mirror the desert. Sensitively rooted in local Arabic culture, the hotel is the embodiment of Arabia through a modern lens, mirroring the city in which it resides. Doha has grown from a modest fishing village into a global capital. The hotel will incorporate bespoke Marcel Wanders design features with influences from the beauty of local patterns, ornate Arabic writing and historic souks. Highlight elements include giant columns with golden eggs, a ‘tree of life’ comprising flowers, falcon video art, giant shisha, patterned carpets, ornate stained glass and intricate mosaic tiling. A four-storey high spiral staircase is another feature, as is the rooftop pool and skybar. mondriandoha.com
