Raffles Doha occupies the Katara Towers on the Lusail Marina, with the city's largest ballroom, 132 butler-serviced suites and room for up to 2,500 wedding guests.
Raffles Doha occupies one of the curved Katara Towers on the Lusail Marina, north of central Doha. It opened as the first all-suite hotel in Qatar, and its interiors pair Raffles service with local detail: lapis-blue atria, mother-of-pearl mosaics and Arabesque pattern throughout. The wedding team works alongside the hotel's butlers, and the 132 suites mean the whole party can sleep a short walk from the celebration.
Katara Hall is the largest ballroom in the city. Its domed, Arabesque interior holds up to 2,500 guests, with around 1,000 seated for a banquet, and the mosaic foyers and Gulf-view terraces lead off it. Five restaurants and bars supply halal menus for everything from a large banquet to a dinner in a suite, and Raffles Spa, a private cinema and pools give guests somewhere quiet beforehand. Hamad International Airport is about 30 minutes away by road, and Place Vendôme and Katara Cultural Village lie close to the hotel.

A landmark on the Lusail Marina
Raffles Doha fills one of the Katara Towers, a pair of curved buildings whose crossed crescents recall the seal of Qatar. It was the country's first all-suite hotel and joins the glamour of Raffles, with its white-glove butlers and grand arrival hall, to the character of Doha, seen in lapis-blue atria and mother-of-pearl Arabesque mosaics.
Katara Hall and the terraces
Katara Hall is the largest ballroom in the city, a domed Arabesque room beneath soaring arched ceilings. It receives up to 2,500 guests, around 1,000 of them at a seated banquet. The mosaic foyers and the terraces facing the Gulf extend the celebration outdoors.
Suites, tables and treatments
The whole wedding party can stay in the 132 suites, which carry deep blues, gold and Arabesque pattern, with marble bathrooms. Five restaurants and bars cover everything from Italian cooking to a rooftop lounge, and Raffles Spa offers a quiet place before the day itself.
