When I hear The Plaza, the first thing that comes to my mind is New York, a hotel famous for its luxe and unparalleled hospitality on the Upper East Side. However, The Plaza Doha is not associated with its New York counterpart in any way, but, draws the same inspiration with spot-on hospitality. What really sets The Plaza Doha apart and takes it a step forward is its amalgamation of Arab generosity with contemporary warmth. And well, where that’s about the hotel, it’s Ramadan Tent this year is no less. It has gone above and beyond that blends luxury with tradition, exuding opulence and charm, and offering guests an unforgettable experience that captures the essence of Ramadan.Stepping into The Plaza Doha, guests are greeted by the grandeur of its magnificent lobby, adorned with exquisite details and architectural marvels – the magnificent chandelier taking the center stage .This Ramadan, The Plaza Doha is back with its ultimate luxury experience: Layla by Le Mariage, the season's most prestigious Ramadan tent.
