Fairmont Doha Review

In a city of landmark buildings, the Katara Towers are designed to stand out. Imposingly situated on the Arabian Gulf seafront at the entrance to Lusail Marina, they render in architecture emblematic of Qatar: two crossed scimitars. The twin towers curve symmetrically, rising 36 floors to a height of nearly 700 feet, gleaming like polished blades against the ever-rising skyline of Doha.

The Peninsula Bangkok Resort Review

Bangkok is one of the world’s most exciting cities, and we — me and my wife — have front-row seats. From the wood-paneled living room of our 16th-floor deluxe suite in The Peninsula, we look out on a panoramic sweep of the Chao Phraya River, one of the city’s most important routes. Day and night the river jostles with ferries, cruise boats, barges, speedboats and distinctive long-tail boats. We view it all in air-conditioned comfort.
