Cutting Edge Luxury: Dining and Design at Lusail’s Iconic Katara Towers

-

By Fathima Nasifa, Qatar Ask: Rising dramatically over Lusail’s skyline, the Katara Towers are a bold architectural statement, designed to reflect the twin scimitars of Qatar’s national emblem. These towers are more than just a visual landmark—they are the epicenter of opulence, housing two of the city’s most prestigious hotels: Fairmont Doha and Raffles Doha. Together, they redefine luxury hospitality and offer an unforgettable culinary journey through the finest global cuisines.

Fairmont Doha: Culinary Flair Meets Sophistication

Fairmont Doha offers a collection of unique dining venues designed for every mood and moment. Start your evening at Cyra Botanical Shisha, a relaxed outdoor terrace where you can unwind with Arabic mezze, rosewater-infused zero-proof cocktails, and aromatic shisha amidst a botanical ambiance.

For a mid-afternoon indulgence, Dome Fairmont Lounge sets the stage for a Parisian-style tea experience. Guests can select from chocolate parfaits and luqaimat-topped mille-feuille from a walk-in dessert cooler shaped like a giant glass cloche—an Instagram-worthy highlight.


Dinner at Masala Library by Jiggs Kalra is a culinary odyssey across India, blending traditional flavors with avant-garde techniques. For a lively evening, Vaya! Latin Mercado brings the energy of South America to Qatar with sizzling Argentinian barbecue and live salsa music.


For an unforgettable nightcap, ascend to Provok Asian Project, a dazzling glass venue spread across the 33rd and 34th floors. Here, Japanese and Korean fusion dishes are served against a breathtaking backdrop of Lusail and The Pearl, offering both visual and gastronomic brilliance.


Raffles Doha: Where Elegance is Personal


At Raffles Doha, each suite is a sanctuary of ultra-luxury, complete with personal butlers and bespoke experiences. The hotel’s dining offerings are equally exceptional, starting with Alba by Enrico Crippa. This fine-dining Italian restaurant, led by the Michelin-starred chef, centers its menu around seasonal ingredients and the prized white truffle from Piedmont.

At L’Artisan, expect more than a meal—expect theatre. Dishes are presented via Gueridon trolleys and completed tableside with flair and finesse, elevating classic European cuisine into a performance.


As night falls, slip behind a hidden door into the enigmatic Blue Cigar. Under rich blue velvet drapes and glittering chandeliers, guests can enjoy handcrafted smoky cocktails in an ambiance of intrigue and luxury.


A Destination Beyond Dining:


More than just places to eat, Fairmont and Raffles Doha offer immersive experiences that blend architecture, culture, and global cuisine. Whether you're sipping a botanical mocktail under the stars or enjoying white truffle risotto by candlelight, Katara Towers delivers cutting-edge luxury that defines the future of hospitality in Qatar.
