Doha, Qatar (April 2025): Four Seasons Hotel Doha this month marked its 20th anniversary, celebrating two decades of timeless elegance, exceptional hospitality, and world-class dining. The hotel honoured its 20-year legacy with a weekend of one-of-a-kind culinary experiences, including immersive masterclasses and an exclusive gala dinner with a menu curated by globally renowned chefs Nobu Matsuhisa and Jean-Georges Vongerichten.
Ever evolving yet rooted in its heritage, Four Seasons Hotel Doha continues to shape the region’s luxury hospitality scene through meaningful experiences that reflect the city’s vibrant culture and diverse culinary landscape.
Truly unique dining experiences
Four Seasons Hotel Doha brought together two of the culinary world’s most celebrated names for a rare and exciting collaboration with two exclusive masterclasses. Chef Nobu Matsuhisa, known for his distinctive blend of Japanese techniques and Peruvian flavours, joined Chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten, the mastermind behind over 60 acclaimed restaurants worldwide including Curiosa by Jean-Georges at Four Seasons Hotel Doha.
At the masterclass on April 25th held at Curiosa by Jean-George, Chef Jean-George taught Chef Nobu to cook his favourite Curiosa dishes. And, on April 26th at Nobu, Chef Nobu taught Chef Jean-Georges to cook the best dishes of Nobu. To elevate this collaboration, the two chefs curated a special, one-night-only gala menu, that was served at the Gala dinner on April 26, offering guests a unique opportunity to experience their iconic dishes.
This special event cemented the hotel’s standing as a leading culinary destination, home to Nobu Doha (selected by the Michelin Guide 2025) — as well as Le Deli Robuchon, Curiosa by Jean-George (selected by the Michelin Guide 2025), Elements, and Makani Beach Club. For more than two decades, Four Seasons Hotel Doha has attracted global acclaim for its ever-evolving dining scene, blending innovation with authenticity at every turn.

Since opening in 2005 as one of the city’s first five-star hotels, Four Seasons Hotel Doha has helped shape the standard for luxury hospitality in the region. Over the years, it has evolved through thoughtful renovations, including a major transformation in 2019, and embraced modern enhancements while preserving its signature warmth and personalised service.
