This spring, SBE's first luxury hotel in the Middle East, Mondrian Doha, will open its doors to the public for its soft opening in Doha, Qatar. The grand opening will follow soon in late September this year.

The hotel was made in collaboration with Marcel Wanders, a world-famous Dutch designer. SBE took no expense in constructing this hotel. According to them, it would be an exceptional lifestyle offering in Doha.

"Stories connect us to our history, our culture and to each other. Stepping into Mondrian Doha begins the first chapter of a wonderful story that unfolds around every turn," said Wanders.

"Conceptually, we have married local culture with a modern design aesthetic. While many themes are collectively layered throughout the hotel, each individual space tells its own tale. Guests may therefore have many different experiences and weave for themselves a collection of stories to share."

Hotel rates start at $240 a night. Some of the hotel's features include five room categories like a penthouse suite, studio suite, one and two bedroom suites and a range of standard guestrooms. The hotel will also house eight high-class restaurants and bars.

Because of the influence of Marcel Wanders, guests will marvel at the ornate design of the whole property. It incorporates the local Arabic culture Doha has along with the historic city's modern influences. The exterior of the hotel is shaped like a falcon, in reference to Qatar's national bird. The whole property is located next to Lagoona Mall in the West Bay area.

In a statement, Sam Nazarian, SBE founder, said: "We are delighted to open our first hotel in the Middle East in Doha, Qatar which is one of the most dynamic cities in the region. We're additionally set to open two more hotel properties in Dubai in 2017 and 2018 and a number of restaurants. I know that Mondrian Doha will be an incredible destination for international and local travelers alike. It will be also a fantastic destination for the locals to experience all our culinary venues."
