"Housed inside Qatar’s former Ministry of Interior—a fine example of the 1970s brutalist architecture by Lebanese architect William Sednaoui—The Ned Doha was recently reimagined by the Pritzker-winning architect David Chipperfield. Its main draw for art lovers, however, is the hotel-wide permanent collection of 350+ artworks by over 100 Middle-Eastern artists, most of them women. Curated by Wadha Al-Aqeedi and Elina Sairanen, the co-founders of Mathqaf Arab Museum of Modern Art, it features hand-dyed wool art by Qatari textile artist Maryam Al-Homaid alongside paintings by Afghan-Canadian artist Hangama Amiri, and many other treasures." - Yulia Denisyuk
