Kimpton Al Rowda Doha

IHG Hotels & Resorts to Debut Its Luxury Lifestyle Brand, Kimpton in Qatar

IHG Hotels & Resorts, one of the world's leading hotel companies, has announced the signing of Kimpton Al Rowda Doha, a 283-key luxury lifestyle hotel situated in the heart of the capital. Slated to open mid-2026, the hotel will bring Kimpton's signature blend of playful design, culinary innovation, and genuine service to Doha, creating a vibrant hub for authentic human connection.

The Kimpton brand, famed for pioneering the boutique hotel concept over four decades ago, has built a global community of design-led hotels renowned for heartfelt hospitality and immersive lifestyle experiences. Kimpton Al Rowda Doha, situated in a vibrant downtown area, will fully embody the brand's distinctive human-centered character. The hotel's prime location places guests just steps from the city's major commercial hubs, cultural landmarks, and premier attractions, making it an ideal destination for both business and leisure travelers.

Kimpton Al Rowda Doha will feature meticulously curated guest rooms, suites, and apartments. The hotel will establish itself as a culinary hotspot with five distinct dining and lounge venues, featuring a destination rooftop bar with panoramic views. Reflecting Kimpton's distinctive blend of expressive design, imaginative dining, and warm, human-centered hospitality, the hotel will serve as a dynamic social hub for both travelers and the local community, proudly welcoming furry companions as a pet-friendly destination in keeping with the Kimpton tradition.

As a leading global destination, Doha has seen sustained growth in international visitation, supported by world-class events, cultural investments like the Museum of Islamic Art and the National Museum of Qatar, and its status as a major aviation hub. The city masterfully blends ancient tradition with avant-garde architecture and modern luxury.

This signing contributes to IHG's growing luxury and lifestyle presence in the Middle East, where the Kimpton brand is on a significant growth trajectory. The brand continues to build momentum with the successful opening of Kimpton KAFD in Riyadh, and will soon extend to new markets with debut openings in Dubai later this year and Jeddah to follow.

IHG currently operates 8 hotels in Qatar across 5 brands including InterContinental, voco, Crowne Plaza, Holiday Inn and Staybridge Suites.
