The Ritz-Carlton Doha

We have stayed in other Ritz Carlton hotels across the world – we like the chain and this one did not disappoint. We booked to stay in a Club Access room which is very much worth the extra cost.Our room was the superior level and a very decent size. It had recently been renovated and was very smart and comfortable. The balcony was a nice touch so we could sit and watch the sunset over the city. The hotel does sit by itself but it is a five minute walk to the Lagoon Mall, and five minutes in a car to the Pearl and Katara so I would say well located. We spent a lot of time at the hotel. The outside pool area, while there are small areas which are perhaps a little tired, is very nice. The pool is freeform and the whole area is landscaped with large ‘rocky areas’ which splits the pool into small areas and gives a sense of privacy. There are plenty of comfortable sunbeds and the staff are very attentive and friendly. There is also a large indoor lap pool. We made full use of the Club Lounge at various times of the day. All of the staff were fantastic – I will not name them in case I miss somebody! Breakfast has the full selection of buffet and a chef who freshly cooks eggs, pancakes, waffles, etc. There is then lunch, afternoon tea, evening drinks and canapes and ending with chocolate and cordials. Lunch is buffet style with a chef cooking normally a pasta dish (which was always delicious). And they serve wine at lunch time! We never sampled the afternoon tea but I can only imagine it was amazing. Canapes was again a smorgasbord of food and again with a chef cooking a dish of the day. Wine, beer and spirits are freely on offer. Chocolate and cordials was a selection of small cakes, a chocolate fountain and drinks continuing, including licquors (whisky, Baileys, etc). Nothing was too much for the staff and the lounge was well used. All in all, a fantastic hotel and would definitely stay again

Not much to improve!
