Katara Towers, also known as Crescent Tower Lusail, is an iconic landmark in Lusail, Qatar. Covering a total area of approximately 300,000m², the towers host two luxurious five-star hotels, Raffles Doha and Fairmont Doha, and house extensive entertainment and recreational facilities, establishing itself as a pinnacle of luxury and leisure.
Symbolically intertwined with Qatar’s heritage, the Katara Towers are an architectural translation of Qatar’s national seal, representing the traditional scimitar swords.
The landscape of the towers had to be equally iconic, and as such art and culture are at the heart of every remarkable moment. From the arrival water feature, which encapsulates the strength and speed of a spiralling falcon, to Arabesque architectural motifs on every floor, the design embodies beauty, originality, and storytelling.
Each of the four main pool decks offers a vibrant, distinctive theme, from the sails of the nearby fishing fleet to the tea gardens offering respite for the traders of the Silk Road. The property also includes its own chef and produce garden, nestled on the elevated deck between the emerging hotel and residential towers.
