Situated in front of the now old and unused airport and some distance from the centre of Doha, the Oryx Rotana Doha features an outdoor pool and a spa. Refined cuisine and live jazz music can be enjoyed at the club.

Soundproofed rooms have a seating area and flat-screen TVs with satellite channels. They include large bathrooms with walk-in rain showers, bathrobes and hairdryer.
