On-site restaurants

Alba by Enrico Crippa

As Doha’s newest One MICHELIN Star destination, Alba elevates Northern Italian gastronomy into an art form. Led by Chef Cristhian Serraino under the mentorship of the legendary Enrico Crippa, this restaurant offers an intimate, vaulted-ceiling setting where premium ingredients like Barolo-braised veal and fresh European truffles take center stage.

L'Artisan

A celebration of Modern European elegance, L’Artisan is the hotel’s all-day dining hub. From theatrical breakfasts to refined seasonal dinners, every meal is crafted with an emphasis on the "art of the craft," blending timeless techniques with vibrant, contemporary flavors.

Malaki Lounge

This palatial lounge serves as a bridge between Raffles’ historic glamour and traditional Middle Eastern hospitality. Guests can enjoy artisanal afternoon teas, authentic Arabesque menus, and creative non-alcoholic cocktails within a grand atrium, a tranquil terrace garden, or the plush indoor lounge.

Aqua Doha

Aqua Doha brings a sophisticated Mediterranean pulse to the poolside. Offering a seamless transition from sun-drenched day relaxation to a rhythmic evening vibe, it is the premier spot for light coastal fare and refreshing beverages with panoramic views of the Lusail waterfront.

Acoustic Music Penthouse

Perched at the summit of the iconic Katara Towers, this is one of the world’s most magnificent rooftop bars. With 270-degree views of the Arabian Gulf, it pairs an expertly curated menu of "silk road" inspired cocktails with a nightly backdrop of live soul and jazz music.

Blue Cigar: The Writer's Lounge

A sanctuary for connoisseurs of literature and fine spirits, Blue Cigar is a Raffles signature. Surrounded by a rare library of over 6,000 books—including first editions—this intimate, dimly lit lounge offers a curated selection of premium cigars and world-class spirits.

Raffles Pool

The pool experience at Raffles Doha is a serene urban oasis. It offers all-day access to private cabanas and a redeemable dining experience where guests can savor fresh, organic, and sustainable snacks while lounging beside the sparkling waters of the Gulf.

In-Suite Dining

Raffles Doha redefines private gastronomy by bringing the hotel’s award-winning restaurant experiences directly to your balcony or suite. Whether it is a midnight feast or a private sunrise breakfast, the service emphasizes the same flair and precision found in the signature dining rooms.

Honest review

What could be better

  • Fix the automated payment link system for special events and ensure staff promptly respond to WhatsApp and phone inquiries to avoid lost bookings.
  • Address the lack of attentiveness in dining areas by training staff to be more proactive with drink refills and more efficient in their technical execution.
  • Align the high premium pricing with a flawless service experience to ensure that guests feel the luxury "quality" matches their significant financial investment.

How we choose

Every hotel on this list is cross-checked across Google, Booking.com, Tripadvisor, Agoda and Hotels.com — plus first-hand traveler accounts on Reddit, Instagram, and TikTok. We screen aggressively for fake or incentivised reviews and weight only verified, recent, substantive guest feedback. We accept no paid placements and no sponsored reviews. When affiliate links earn a small commission, we disclose it; it never influences which hotels appear here.
