It confirms the signing of Kimpton Al Rowda Doha, a 283-room luxury lifestyle hotel set to open in mid-2026. If you know Kimpton, you already know you know what’s in store. Expect personality, strong food credentials, and spaces that feel alive.
Kimpton Al Rowda Doha To Open As A Luxury Lifestyle Hotel By 2026
This opening signals Doha’s rising status as a global city that likes its luxury with character.
According to a press release, IHG’s latest signing places Kimpton Al Rowda Doha right in the middle of the capital. It’s a stone’s throw from business districts, cultural hotspots, and key city attractions.
Kimpton made its name by doing boutique hotels before boutique hotels were renowned. The brand focuses on design that feels personal.
283 Rooms Designed For Real Living
The hotel will feature 283 keys, including guest rooms, suites, and apartments. This mix suggests flexibility. Be it a short stay or a longer visit, everything is covered at Kimpton’s.
Kimpton leans into comfort with character, offering rooms that feel curated with calming lighting, textures, and layout to make guests feel settled within minutes.
Five Dining Venues & A Rooftop Worth The View
Food plays a big role in every Kimpton property, and Doha is set to fall in the same league. Kimpton Al Rowda Doha plans to open five dining and lounge venues, turning the hotel into a genuine social destination.
The highlight will likely be the rooftop bar that will deliver panoramic city views, a strong drinks menu, and an atmosphere suitable for visitors and locals. Kimpton hotels tend to blur that guest-versus-resident line.
