Kempinski opens in Doha – is it a hotel or palace?

Kempinski has opened its new flagship hotel in Doha, the Marsa Malaz Kempinski, The Pearl – Doha. The big question: is this really a hotel or is it a palace at the Gulf that occasionally allows guest to stay for a night or two?

It’s a hotel. In fact, the Marsa Malaz Kempinski – the group’s seventh hotel in the Gulf region – is a business and leisure hotel on its own island at the iconic The Pearl-Qatar. The recently opened hotel offers 281 luxurious rooms and suites, meeting-conference facilities, an exclusive beach located in a private bay, along with outdoor swimming pools, water sports facilities, a 3,000 sq m Spa by Clarins, a tennis court and yacht jetties.

The Marsa Malaz Kempinski boasts multiple dining and entertainment options in six different types of restaurants, two cafés, al fresco beach-side dining, a sophisticated lounge and a unique rooftop lounge with large open-air terraces.  

Located in the heart of Qatar’s capital Doha, Marsa Malaz Kempinski is only a ten-minute drive from West Bay, the central business district, and a 30-minute drive from the new Hamad International Airport.
