Hotel
Katara Towers
9GQJ+RJF marina, Lusail
Crescent twin towers shaped like crossed ceremonial swords, with luxury suites above a marina.
This guide to Katara Towers in Doha's Lusail marina opens with a dispute over how many floors it actually has, and follows the three years construction crews spent chasing the towers' sharp inward lean skyward, from work starting in 2018 through a delayed opening in 2022. It traces what filled the finished towers, including Raffles and Fairmont hotels and a restaurant from three-Michelin-star chef Enrico Crippa. Stand at the base and look up at the narrow gap between the two blades.
