"Named the best airport in the world by Skytrax in 2024, with exemplary food and service at lounges like the Al Safwa First Lounge."
"Recently awarded the title of best airport in the world, Hamad International Airport is a key hub for Qatar Airways, offering a luxurious and seamless travel experience."
"I found that Hamad International, in Doha, Qatar, runs so smoothly that the value proposition of a private chaperone may not add up." - Paul Brady Paul Brady Paul Brady is the news director at Travel + Leisure and the brand's expert on cruise travel.

"Farther afield, airports are creating large green spaces, only indoors—like the Orchard, a 60,000-square-foot atrium garden with 300 trees and 25,000 plants at the newly expanded Doha Hamad International Airport in Qatar."
"Crowned the 2021 winner by Skytrack, this is quite the stylish gateway to the skies, with a state-of-the-art wellness center featuring a swimming pool, hydrotherapy tub, gym, squash courts, and a spa that offers anti jet-lag massages as well as facials. If you want to nap before a connection—likely popular as it’s a massive travel hub for European and American travelers looking to reach the Middle East, Asia, and Africa—you can rent a private, air-conditioned sleep pod or cabin. Walking to your gate you might spy “Lamp Bear” by Urs Fischer, or “Small Lie” by Kaws, and installations by Maurizio Cattelan, Damian Hirst, and Jenny Holzer are upcoming. The architecture, designed by global firm HOK, is meant to represent ocean waves and sand dunes, key landscape traits of Doha itself." - Elise Taylor
