New business lounge at the Hamad International Airport in Doha

The devastatingly classy Al Mourjan Business Lounge for Qatar Airways’ Premium passengers, which opened recently at the Hamad International Airport in Doha, is a sweeping 10,000-sq-m sunlit space meant to match a luxury resort. A host or hostess checks in guests, the seating facilitates both convivial groups and individuals, there’s a stress-busting water installation, plus a media room with a large screen TV and sofas with built-in speakers. We aren’t forgetting the business centre — it comes with all-in-one computers and printers, 24/7 secretarial services, conference rooms, another media room, and a game room with an F1 driving simulator. Oh, the exceptional 24-hour buffet offers international tapas and mezze, and beverages. If you need swanky showers, sleeper suits, cushions, wake-up calls or toothbrushes, just ask the house hostess.
