Katara Towers: the excellence of luxury hospitality
Katara Towers: the excellence of luxury hospitality meets Vimar technology
"Located north of Doha, in the Marina District of Lusail City, Katara Towers represent one of the most iconic expressions of luxury hospitality. Developed with rigorous symmetry, the complex houses two of the Accor Group’s most prestigious hotel brands: Fairmont and Raffles Doha."
Project description
Two towers, two visions of hospitality
Designed by the architectural firm Dar Al-Handasah, the 211-metre-high towers reinterpret the two crossed scimitars from Qatar’s national emblem through a dramatic crescent-shaped structure. It is a project that blends the country’s cultural heritage with a future-oriented architectural vision. On the lower floors of the podium connecting the two hotels lie the majestic entrance hall, Katara Hall (one of the largest ballrooms in the country), and the spectacular Fairmont lobby, adorned with a cascading crystal chandelier measuring an impressive 56.5 metres in height. Rising above these communal areas within the two towers are Fairmont and Raffles Doha, both spanning 36 levels and overlooking the Persian Gulf. Inspired by modern luxury yacht design, with sleek silhouettes, innovative materials and spacious, light-filled environments, Fairmont Doha offers 362 rooms and suites tailored for a dynamic clientèle seeking well-being, entertainment and exclusive experiences. Renowned for its sumptuous interiors inspired by royal palaces, Raffles Doha, by contrast, welcomes guests to 132 exclusive suites designed to deliver the pinnacle of privacy, comfort and customisation, in a setting that redefines the highest standards of hospitality.
Eikon Exé: the detail that interprets luxury
In an environment where the most refined luxury is expressed through extraordinary attention to detail, Vimar technology emerges as the natural choice to ensure style, functionality and innovation. The perfect blend of technological precision and craftsmanship, available in a variety of prestigious materials and finishes, the Eikon Exé series, selected for this elegant setting in a brushed nickel finish, emphasises the material richness of the surfaces with its elegant, sophisticated texture, integrating with balance and refinement into whatever space it is installed in. With over 200 functions available across international product standards, and with its different control options including traditional, Vintage, Flat and Tondo (the latter recently honoured with the Compasso d’Oro International Award), Eikon Exé can offer numerous solutions for system customisation, striking the perfect balance between aesthetics, technology and sustainability.
A solution that sits coherently within the design language of Katara Towers, where every detail has been crafted to deliver an uncompromising hospitality experience. Within the exclusive setting of Fairmont and Raffles Doha, Vimar technology engages in dialogue with the architecture and interior design, helping create user-friendly, comfortable spaces in keeping with the exacting standards of one of the most prestigious destinations on the international hospitality scene.
