The Chedi Katara Hotel & Resort
(5 stars)Perched on the Arabian Gulf with mountains to its rear, this brand new resort from GHM envelopes its guests in privacy, indulgence and authentic Qatari hospitality. It takes many cues from the area’s heritage and adopts a modern outlook. The hotel has a private, fully-serviced beach, a seaside pool area, a spa (with male and female areas), and several dining options providing top-class meals from morning till night. Check into a room, a suite, or your own villa with a garden and a private pool. It may be conveniently close to the city centre attractions, but it feels like you’re a world away – an ideal combination of seclusion and access to amenities.
