All trip reports i have read has told that Al Mourjan is the lounge CX uses for their customers travelling in business. If you are travelling in economy, it seems you will be granted access to a contract lounge with your AB-Gold membership.

Transitting in Doha
The Al Mourjan lounge is exclusive to business class flyers and above, irrespective of status, i.e. as a OWE flying in economy there is no access.
Staff are permanently positioned at the bottom of the entrance escalator to check boarding passes, and they nearly always question anyone with a CX Business BP!
For Y passengers with status there is the QR Oryx Lounge which makes no pretence in being the place for the lower class OW status holders. It is somewhat disappointing.
If there is time you might want to consider the 2 hours free Doha tour. I have not done it personally so cannot say if it is any good. The Doha West Bay skyline looks like the architects were on some serious drugs.

I had access this summer while CX640 was in code-share with QR

I was on j class CX640 but sold by QR. At the bottom of the the escalator of the Al Moujan lounge was asked to see someone at upstairs, this is unusual compared to the times I flew purely QR J class. On reaching the top of the escalator someone checked my BP and I was allowed access to problems. My BP did specifically state 'CX640 sold as QR Xxxx'
