La Cigale Hotel Doha Hotel  

Set between the timeless charm of Souq Waqif and the skyline buzz of West Bay, this 5-star landmark sits in the heart of Doha. A two-minute walk to the Metro and about 20 minutes from Hamad International Airport, it’s within easy reach of the Museum of Islamic Art, Doha Bay, Old Souks, Grand Hamad Stadium and major shopping districts. Family-friendly and business-friendly, it’s perfect for both city explorers and corporate stays.

The exterior is restrained; the interior is unapologetically luxe Art Deco. Think Murano chandeliers, Swarovski-infused sofas and curated tableaux by Carlos Cruz-Diez across 225 rooms and suites. Rooms vary by category but commonly include a mini-bar, DVD player and bathrobe. Expect a daylight 20‑metre indoor pool, a deluxe spa with massage rooms, sauna and steam bath, plus a nightclub and outdoor seating at several outlets.

Relax at the spa or sweat it out in the 490 sq.m gym. Take a dip in the indoor pool or sip at the poolside bar. The hotel hosts 11 dining and entertainment venues, multiple bars and a coffee shop, plus 24-hour room service. Practical perks include on-site parking, concierge, laundry/dry cleaning, ATM and car rental or transfer arrangements. Babysitting and shuttle services are available for a surcharge.

Two state-of-the-art ballrooms, a conference hall and meeting rooms make it a natural business hub. A business center supports meetings, and the property offers complimentary wired and wireless internet along with limo/town car and transfer services.

Eleven on-site dining and entertainment outlets include Le Cigalon, multiple restaurants and several bars and lounges. Enjoy poolside drinks, a coffee shop for snacks and 24-hour room service. Buffet breakfasts are available daily for a fee, with outdoor seating options for alfresco dining.
