Mondrian Doha
(5 stars)With interior design by Marcel Wanders, each area in this SBE operated five-star hotel tells its own story. Grand, modern and very artistic, the decor bears much Arabic influence, both old and new. Stained glass, falcon video art, indoor trees, gilt creatures and giant ornate columns create an installation like effect in many of the spaces. Rooms have river or city views and include VIP penthouses.
