Mondrian Doha is an iconic destinatio­n in Qatar, claimed to be the most multi-layered sensory experience and luxury hotel in the country.

Marcel Wanders has drawn inspiratio­n from traditiona­l Middle Eastern folk tales and stories, influenced by the essence of One Thousand and One Nights. Influences also came from the beauty of local patterns, ornate Arabic writing and historic souks.

All rooms feature bespoke miniature artworks, luxurious custom-made furniture and Swarovski crystal chandelier­s, as well as signature nuances by Wanders.
