Overview
Doha’s headline icon
Marsa Malaz Kempinski is Doha's headline icon — a palatial private-island resort at The Pearl-Qatar, with Arabian-European design and some of the largest rooms in the city. Set on its own man-made island between Lusail and downtown, around thirty minutes from Hamad International and ten from City Centre Mall, it pairs grand scale with resort calm. Its 281 rooms and suites all have a balcony or terrace and Gulf or Pearl views, among Doha's largest at up to 75 square metres, rising from Deluxe Rooms to Junior and Executive Suites and the palatial Royal and Presidential Suites. Dining is the widest choice in the city — the Levantine Al Sufra, an award-winning contemporary Japanese, a Pan-Latin kitchen, Italian, a retro American diner and a FAUCHON cafe, with a cigar lounge and a jazz house among roughly eleven venues. The Marsa Malaz Spa by Clarins runs 21 treatment rooms with a hammam, sauna, steam, a private indoor pool and a men's barber, while a 100-metre private beach with watersports, outdoor pools and a small waterpark, tennis and two padel courts, and a kids' club with playrooms complete a do-everything palace on the water, on a bed-and-breakfast basis with butler service.
