Luxury mall in Lusail with an indoor waterway, designer boutiques and a fashion-led layout inspired by Paris.
Place Vendôme Qatar is a luxury shopping mall in Lusail City, the planned city north of Doha, Qatar. Its design takes inspiration from Paris, with a fashion-led layout, grand central spaces and an indoor waterway that runs through the building, giving it a more boutique, upscale feel than a typical regional mall. It sits close to Lusail Marina, Lusail Boulevard and the Lusail Stadium area, and is reached from central Doha by road or by the Doha Metro's Red Line followed by a short onward connection.
The retail mix focuses on luxury and premium brands, including international fashion houses, accessories, jewellery and watches, beauty and homeware, alongside a department store and flagship-style boutiques. The goods are genuine branded products sold at fixed prices, so bargaining is not part of the experience, and discounts come mainly from seasonal sales. Cards are accepted everywhere, and cash in Qatari riyals (QAR) is rarely needed. Visitors who qualify may use Qatar's tourist tax-refund scheme at participating retailers, so asking before paying is sensible for high-value purchases.
Because prices are premium, the mall suits visitors who want designer shopping or a polished leisure outing rather than souvenirs. Its entertainment features include a cinema and family attractions, and the indoor canal and landscaped spaces are popular for photographs and a relaxed stroll. The crowd is a mix of residents of Lusail, visitors staying in the nearby hotels and tourists, and it is generally calmer than the large family-oriented malls, except on Thursday and Friday evenings.
Dining is a significant draw, with waterfront and canal-side restaurants, upscale international and Arabic venues, cafes and patisseries, and a smaller casual food offering. Prayer rooms, valet parking and concierge-style services are available. Opening hours are usually 10:00 to 22:00, often later on Thursday and Friday, though hours may change during Ramadan and public holidays, so checking with the mall before travelling is advisable.
