Royal Villa "Beit Al Shyoukh" Ornately modelled after a sheikh's palace, the 2.099-square meter Royal Villa is divided into two distinct wings. Guest accommodation includes the royal suite, guest suite, a pair of two-bedroom suites and a pair of king suites, along with majlis seating areas, study and dining room. The majestic villa houses exquisite furnishings and treasures from the orient, which are steeped detail and tradition. All aspects of detailing refer back to authentic Qatari designs-handrails, stone carvings, and inlaid mosaics create a sense of continuity and refinement that reinforces the rich history of the local culture. The inner majlis or sitting room, and private dining room of the Royal Villa are separated by double wooden sliding doors which allowing for intimate seating, groupings and moments of reflection and interest.

The large iron studded wood door of the Royal Suite is the first indication that what lies ahead is a unique palatial experience. An imperial four-poster, canopied bed sitting atop a polished marble platform and hand-woven Arabian carpets are all part of this magnificent environment. Bed linens are amongst the finest in the world with 1050- thread count sheets by the Italian house of Frette. Completing the exquisite suite is the en-suite walk in wardrobe and bath which is tiled by prized Brazilian blue marble. The Jacuzzi tub, studded with indigo hued mosaic tiles veined with 18-karat gold to add the regal touch, is complemented by bath amenities from Acqua di Parma and lotions with 23-karat golf leaf by Linden Leaves. Adjacent to accommodation wing of the Royal Villa is the luxurious annex area that is connected via overhead walkway.
