The Waldorf Astoria Lusail Doha sits on the waterfront in Entertainment City, Lusail, on what it describes as the only private beach in Lusail. It is a sleek waterfront hotel with rooms and suites, plus residences and private villas with rooftop terraces and coastline views, and signature Waldorf Astoria service. Dining runs to seven venues, from the Franco-American brasserie Bywater and the open-kitchen SUSHISAMBA to the rooftop lounge The Highmore, the Italian Scarpetta and the beachside Praia. The 2,500-square-metre ESPA Life spa, the only one in the Middle East, spreads over three floors with hydrotherapy pools, a hammam and a snow room. There is a private beach, family pools, a waterpark, an adults-only pool, kids’ and teen clubs and a Rolls-Royce service for city tours. It suits couples and families who want a polished waterfront base with strong dining and a standout spa.
