Crowne Plaza Doha West Bay

Set above Doha's West Bay district, Best Plaza West Bay Hotel looks out over the Arabian Gulf and the city's cluster of towers along the Corniche. The hotel holds 314 suites and rooms, several with floor-to-ceiling windows facing the water. Executive Sea View Suites add a separate living area and a clear run of Gulf views; the West Bay Royal Suite, the property's top signature room, takes in a 360-degree outlook over the bay and skyline. Three restaurants cover the range: Nidaaya serves Middle Eastern dishes with contemporary touches, Riqqa Cafe handles coffee and pastries, and the Signature Lounge pours cocktails against the lit-up skyline after dark. The Sky Horizon Pool sits on the 48th floor, an infinity edge with private cabanas and a wide view down over West Bay's grid of streets and the water beyond. It is a good spot for sunset. The Azure Wellness Spa spans 1,200 m² and draws on Arabian treatment traditions, alongside a fitness centre with Technogym equipment and personal training on request. Long-stay guests can book one- to four-bedroom suites fitted with Italian furniture and access to the same wellness facilities. Outside, Souq Waqif and Doha City Center Mall sit within easy reach for those who want to leave the tower.
