Sky View

Sky View at La Cigale Hotel is Doha’s rooftop retreat on the 11th floor, offering an experience where luxe design, skyline vistas, music and mixology converge. The lounge is structured with a two-level indoor heart (mezzanine style) flowing out to a balcony terrace. Arches and open transitions guide guests from the lounge interior to the outdoor terrace, where comfortable seating clusters, ambient lighting, and dramatic views of the city create a memorable atmosphere. Sky View’s menu is built to match the setting: signature “Sky Cocktails,” champagne-style drinks, spirits, wines, and a food menu including bar bites, sushi, Mediterranean tapas, and “elevated” dishes like gourmet steaks. During happy hour (noted from 5:00 pm to 9:00 pm on some sources) the vibe is more relaxed — softer music, lounge pace, ideal for sunset sipping. At other times (especially weekends), the energy heightens with DJs and themed nights (e.g. “Uptown Latino”) or live bands. Dress code is smart casual (no shorts for gentlemen often cited) and reservations are recommended, especially for terrace seats. Some reviewers note that during the hot summer, the terrace may close and guests must stay indoors. In reviews, guests frequently praise the views, ambiance, decor, friendly staff, and good music. Some mention service delays or DJ song requests being declined. One review notes: “Skyview is one of the best places in Doha I have visited. Beautiful view, amazing decor and atmosphere … staff are so nice …” Overall, Sky View is more than “just a rooftop bar” — it’s a lounge destination that blends design, nightlife, cuisine, and open-air allure, especially suited for sunset, late evening socializing, and nights where the city view becomes part of the experience.
