He highlighted the property's timeless design, enticing culinary offerings, the expansive spa, and state-of-the-art event facilities, positioning it as an urban oasis in the heart of the city.
The lobby, inspired by grand clocks in Waldorf Astoria properties worldwide, features a magnificent clock crafted by Tiffany & Co., celebrating Qatar's national bird, the falcon.
