The Ned Doha members’ club, hotel to open in November – The Peninsula

Doha: The Ned Doha — a members’ club and hotel in the heart of Doha — is set to open its doors in November. Located in the former Ministry of the Interior building, The Ned Doha is on the Corniche waterfront, with views over the Arabian Sea, city parklands and the neighbouring Doha Palace.

Originally designed by acclaimed Lebanese architect William Sednaoui in the 1960s, the 500,000sqft site now has members’ spaces, 90 bedrooms and 12 suites and seven restaurants, plus a health club with spa, gym, 30m outdoor pool and event spaces.

The Ned Doha is set over five floors with architecture by David Chipperfield Architects and interiors by Soho House Design.

The team used The Ned London as their inspiration to create a ground floor Atrium with a live performance stage at its heart, surrounded by restaurants. In another nod to the original Ned, green Tinos marble has been used throughout the ground floor areas. Outside, a lush oasis-in-the-city garden has been created, with water features, space for contemporary sculptures and a pergola design to provide sun-dappled shade.

Ned’s Club members will have access to Millie’s on the ground floor, as well as a balcony level for a bird’s eye view of
