Souq Al Wakra Hotel

Qatar


With superbly finished rooms and the same heritage style as the Tivoli-brand hotels in Doha's Souq Waqif, this hotel is by far the top place to stay in the Al Wakrah area. Rooms are simple and light, with dark wood features and crisp linen. There's a good all-day dining restaurant, palm trees and water features on the grounds.
