PB hotel design editorial

Few buildings in the Gulf carry the institutional weight of the former Qatar Ministry of Interior, a five-floor Brutalist landmark on the Doha Corniche designed in the 1970s by Lebanese architect William Sednaoui. Its stacked limestone massing, deep-shadowed brise-soleil screens, and hovering roofline give it the gravity of a civic monument rather than a place to sleep — which makes its transformation into The Ned Doha one of the more unexpected hospitality conversions in recent memory. David Chipperfield Architects handled the adaptive reuse of the listed structure with characteristic restraint, adding a rooftop floor and landscaped podium annex without disturbing the building's essential character. At dusk, lit from below along its travertine base, the geometry feels closer to a temple than a hotel. Inside, Soho House Design leaned into the building's era rather than away from it. The coffered concrete ceilings — retained throughout the guestrooms — are painted in warm sand and copper tones and hung with Murano-glass pendants that amplify the 1970s reference without tipping into pastiche. Rooms mix scalloped velvet headboards in teal and dusty rose with parquet floors and lacquered credenzas in celery yellow; the dining spaces wrap guests in walnut burl panelling and geometric patterned carpets beneath striped Murano globe chandeliers. The pool terrace, framed by the building's original concrete louvres overhead, brings a Riviera-inflected calm to a city more associated with vertical ambition than horizontal ease.

"We chose The Ned Doha for our anniversary staycation and had such a lovely time. From the moment we arrived, everything felt relaxed, elegant and welcoming. The property itself is beautiful, especially the Corniche views, and I really enjoyed how calm and peaceful the hotel felt throughout our stay. The rooms and facilities were spotless, and the pool, sauna and steam room were all very well maintained. The highlight for me was the thoughtful anniversary surprise arranged by Maisha. The room upgrade, cake, decorations and personal touches made the occasion feel extra special and were genuinely appreciated. Food was another standout. We had dinner at Cecconi's and spent time at Millie's Lounge, and both experiences were excellent. Thank you to Mir and Nadia for looking after us so well and making us feel welcome. We also enjoyed the live entertainment, which created a great atmosphere in the evenings without feeling overwhelming. If I could suggest one small improvement, it would be to provide first-time guests with a clearer overview of what is included in the package. We only discovered later that some drinks were included with our dinner, and it would have been nice to know that beforehand. Overall, it was a memorable anniversary getaway and a stay I'll look back on fondly. Thank you to everyone at The Ned Doha for making it such an enjoyable experience. ❤️"
