01 / The experience
Wahm at W Doha
Wahm can take an evening from dinner into music without leaving W Doha. A long mirrored bar, mauve stools and curved seating with blue and pink cushions give the lounge its character. It is an easy place to meet for a drink when you are staying in West Bay.
The hotel’s programme includes live music and DJ nights, with a Thursday band evening among the advertised events. A music night gives you a reason to stay beyond the meal, while a table with friends can make Wahm an evening in its own right. The dated programme determines who is playing during your visit.
Thursday is a particularly good fit before the racing starts. It leaves time to change at the hotel and enjoy the evening without a circuit exit deciding when you arrive. Wahm is 21+ and has original-ID, dress and party-admission conditions. Read those details before reserving, especially if the group plans to come together after a day out.
