Torch Doha

Doha


The Torch, at 300m high, is the tallest structure in Doha, and its sleek grey rooms are well known for their panoramic views over the city and the desert. Other highlights include the Torch Tea Garden and Three Sixty, a rotating restaurant on the 47th floor. Hotel guests can swim in a sky-high swimming pool overlooking the city.

At night, the entire structure lights up in bright neon colours and is a recognisable sight on the horizon when looking out towards the desert from West Bay. The 40,000-seat Khalifa International Stadium, which will host matches through to the quarter finals of the 2022 FIFA World Cup, sits next door in the Torch's impressive shadow.
