In anticipation of our forthcoming October event, our editorial team are very excited to shine their spotlight on our partner, the palatial Marsa Malaz Kempinski, The Pearl, Doha.

Located at The Pearl-Qatar, a man-made island with breathtaking views over the Arabian Gulf, Marsa Malaz Kempinski is an oasis of comfort and tranquillity, embodying both Arabian and European elegance in the style and luxury of a majestic palace.

Its 281 rooms and suites enjoy spacious balconies from which to survey the glorious vistas, including the stunning Venetian channels and towers. And for those looking for the ultimate regal experience, the Royal Suites are the epitome of opulence with two master bedrooms, an exquisite open-air terrace and private grand whirlpool bath.

Guests can also begin their palatial getaway by being collected in a Rolls Royce of their choice as their personal 24-hour butler awaits their arrival.

While offering a spectacular family-friendly destination, this five-star hotel also combines an impressive selection of conference rooms and outdoor areas, making it the perfect choice for outstanding events.

Its seven restaurants cater for all tastes – casual dining, Iberian specialities, Middle Eastern dishes, Pan-Latin flavours featuring recipes from Brazil to Peru, contemporary Japanese food or sample grilled meat or seafood by the beach. There are also four stylish bars including The Stage, an intimate venue with a high-class music lounge ambiance featuring exceptional music performances by live musicians and a resident band, and the award-winning Café Murano, an elegant European gourmet café where Doha’s high society mingles to enjoy the sumptuous Kempinski Afternoon Tea. As they say there, you can’t buy happiness but you can buy cake and that’s kind of the same thing…

The hotel prides itself on its professionalism and that reaches a peak with its meetings and conference facilities which can provide endless arrangements and options. Whether it is for a personal, special day, a work function, meeting or educational event, the hotel can meet all needs and requirements. From closed meetings for just ten delegates to events for up to 1200 guests in the splendid Palazzo Ballroom, there is no more luxurious venue. Located close to the conference and events facilities there is also a business centre, providing a comfortable office for those who can’t bear to be away from the office, with multiple computers and other invaluable technology as well as a meeting room.

And when all the hard work is done and you’re ready to relax, de-stress in the serene setting of the award-winning Spa by Clarins, dip into the outdoor pools, unwind on the private beach or get match-fit on the tennis court or in the state-of-the-art fitness centre.

If you need a little extra help while staying at the hotel, the Marsa Malaz Kempinski has a full range of concierge, limousine and butler services – and the Lady in Red, their ‘Ambassadrice par Excellence’ and the key to their successful guest relations, who has all the local information about sightseeing spots, restaurants, art exhibitions and other events.

Luxury knows no bounds, whether for work or pleasure, at this exceptional Qatari destination.
