Al Bidda Boutique Hotel

Doha


This contemporary hotel with traditional touches like arabesque archways and detailing has 32 enormous rooms, each with living areas and rain showers. Some have split-levels with spiral staircases and lovely souq-view balconies with mosaic-tiled floors. Soft furnishings include fluffy cushions and even hanging basket chairs in some alcoves. It's on one of the quieter souq thoroughfares.

On the ground level are shops and the La Patisserie Cafe and La Piazza restaurant.
