Informations

Aspire Tower, also called The Torch Doha, is a 300-metre-tall (980 ft) skyscraper hotel located in the Aspire Zone complex in Doha, Qatar. Designed by architect Hadi Simaan and AREP and engineer Ove Arup and Partners, the tower served as the focal point for the 15th Asian Games hosted by Qatar in December 2006.



The tower is currently the tallest structure and construction in Doha and Qatar, but it'll be surpassed by the Dubai Towers Doha and the Barwa Tower, when either project is completed. The tower has also been called Khalifa Sports Tower or Doha Olympic Tower.
