SUMMIT VENUE 2008
The Ritz-Carlton Sharq, Village & Spa
This is one of Doha's newest hotels – only completed this year – and probably also the most luxurious.
Fourteen individual courtyard beits meander organically up from the 350 meters of private coastline around the ancient Arabic bazaar to form Sharq Village & Spa. The 174-room village, situated in an area known as Sharq, meaning orient, perfectly blends traditional architecture and design with the latest in modern comforts and amenities. Guests can glide through the twisting village streets, walk along the private beach, cool off in the two superb pools, recline on an outdoor majlis, or pick up everything from high fashion to precious jewels at the village souq.
