The Best Hotel Openings in the Middle East and Africa for 2023

The Ned Doha

The adaptive reuse of a Brutalist government building from the 1970s, the 90-room Ned Doha channels the glamour of the era with custom Murano glass lighting, terrazzo flooring, marble finishes, and coffered concrete ceilings. Yet, it’s the nods to sister locations in London and New York, with brand mainstays like Cecconi’s restaurant (one of seven F&B options) and a members-only club that crowns the top floor, that add to the property’s appeal.
