About The Torch Hotel, Doha
The Torch building is one of Doha’s most prominent landmarks and a tribute to modern times. With 300 meters height (currently the tallest building in Doha) and 360 degree panoramic view of Qatar’s capital, The Torch is Doha’s epitome of contemporary life.
This so-called “celebration of earth and sky” was designed in 2006 and served as a focal point during 15th Asian Games.
The Torch is located in the Aspire Zone (Doha’s sports city), and accommodates a luxury hotel with state-of-the-art sporting, leisure and spa facilities. The hotel had a soft-launch in October 2011 and opened its doors to the public, presenting 167 modern rooms and suites, 3 signature restaurants, lounges, business center and numerous leisure facilities. Glass Studio worked with hotel’s opening team in designing hotel dinnerware that reflect Torch’s unique architectural style and fresh take on luxurious hospitality.
