The Ned Doha opens in Qatar

This marks the Membership Collective Group’s third Ned hotel and members’ club and its first Middle East location

The Membership Collective Group has expanded The Ned brand to the Middle East with its latest opening in Doha, Qatar

Set over five floors in the former site of the Ministry of Interior, overlooking the Arabian Gulf and Doha’s skyline, The Ned Doha features 90 bedrooms and suites, seven public restaurants, a pool and club lounge, a health club with spa, salon, fitness centre and an event space for large-scale events.

The Ned group managing director Gareth Banner said: “Five years after launching The Ned in London, we are excited to open in Doha. We are really excited to occupy one of the city’s most architecturally significant buildings, comprising a hotel, multiple restaurants and its own private members’ club. We look forward to providing our guests and members with a distinct experience, welcoming them to stay, connect, eat and have a good time.”

Originally designed in the 1960s by Lebanese architect William Sednaoui, the building has been redesigned by David Chipperfield Architects of London. The  interiors, by Soho House Design, are inspired by 1970s glamour with terrazzo flooring, silk drapery, marble furniture, woven and mirrored fabric headboards, as well as indoor-outdoor spaces for guests to meet, work and socialise.
