Souq Waqif Boutique Hotels
Traditional Qatari heritage meets contemporary luxury — carved wood panels, Arabic lattice screens, plush fabrics, and courtyard views. Each property has a distinct personality, from Al Bidda's former noble family home feel to Bismillah's position as Doha's oldest hotel. The overall atmosphere is calm, culturally rich, and unhurried.

Why It Matters
The only hotel accommodation situated inside Souq Waqif itself. Argan restaurant holds a MICHELIN Bib Gourmand award. The spa houses Doha's only Moroccan hammam experience. Bismillah is Doha's oldest hotel. Al Bidda was once the actual home of a noble Qatari family.
Not one hotel — eight of them. Souq Waqif Boutique Hotels by Tivoli is a collection of eight restored historic buildings (Arumaila, Al Bidda, Al Jomrok, Al Jasra, Musheireb, Bismillah, Al Mirqab, and Najd) woven directly into the fabric of Doha's famous old market. Each building has its own character, its own designer, and its own story, with 160 rooms and suites spread across the souq's labyrinthine lanes. You're not staying near the market — you're staying inside it.
Where You'll Stay
4 room types available
Amiri Suite
The top of the collection. Grand in scale, richly decorated in traditional Qatari style, and named to reflect the emirate's royal heritage. Full suite facilities — large separate living room, premium bedding, luxury bath amenities, and Souq Waqif views.
King
Deluxe Room
Step up from standard with more space and, in many buildings, balcony access overlooking the souq. Same strong amenity set — king bed, minibar, tea/coffee facilities, bathrobes — but with added room to breathe.
KingStandard Room
Entry-level rooms spread across the eight boutique buildings. Each is decorated differently depending on the building, but all include a king bed, flat-screen TV, minibar fridge, coffee and tea maker, air conditioning, free Wi-Fi, bathrobe and slippers. Some overlook souq laneways.
KingSuite
Suites add a separate living room to the mix, making them genuinely spacious rather than just an upsized bedroom. Walk-in shower, minibar, city or souq views, flat-screen TV, and kitchenette in some. Al Bidda has 15 suites; Bismillah's suites are among the most opulent in the collection.
