Delight in exciting Aperitivo deals, a fashion-forward Friday brunch, afternoon tea fit for royalty and much more

Doha, Qatar, 04 November 2024: Step into the world of Raffles Doha, where every culinary venue offers a distinct journey through elegance and taste this season.

At Malaki Lounge, the essence of Arabic hospitality is celebrated from dawn to dusk. The palatial atrium, bathed in soft light and rich artistry, serves as a serene retreat where guests can indulge in handcrafted beverages and sophisticated Arabic comfort plates. In the heart of this lounge, live Middle Eastern music sets the stage for vibrant evenings, while the garden terrace provides a lush escape with stunning city views.

Alba, Raffles Doha's modern Italian gem, draws inspiration from the annual hunt for white Piedmont truffles, infusing its menu with rare delicacy and other premium ingredients sourced from Italy. The result is a collection of colourful dishes to create a dining experience that is both upscale and innovative.

For a touch of clandestine charm, Blue Cigar offers an intimate speakeasy experience. This exclusive venue pairs the finest cigars with a selection of whiskies, smoky cocktails and a curated menu. Guests can immerse themselves in a world of literary history, too, by exploring first editions like Robinson Crusoe from 1785 and Moby Dick from 1811, all while settling into plush leather armchairs.

Meanwhile, perched on the 36th floor, Acoustic Music Penthouse is Raffles Doha's ultra-cool lounge. With amber-tinted curves and muted lighting, this stylish hideaway offers radiant 360-degree views of Lusail, the Arabian Gulf and Doha's skyline.

Finally, head for the pool and discover a tranquil hidden oasis at Aqua Urban Deck. Indulge in sophisticated Mediterranean cuisine with a Turkish twist, and enjoy a range of refreshing beverages, from vibrant Caribbean cocktails to invigorating non-alcoholic options.

This September, each venue at Raffles Doha is offering a range of exciting events and promotions. Enjoy the opulence of Malaki Lounge's Royal High Tea, savour Alba's Dolce & Gabbana by Donnafugata Friday Brunch and partake in the Italian tradition of Aperitivo at Alba with exclusive antipasti and drinks, among many other delights.
