Why we recommend it
The St. Regis Doha is a five-star hotel on the shore of the Gulf in West Bay, with views towards The Pearl and Katara Cultural Village close by. It has 335 rooms and suites, and like other hotels in the brand it offers St. Regis Butler Service throughout. Hamad International Airport is about 23 kilometres away, and Al Qassar station on the Doha Metro is nearby, which makes the hotel easier to reach by public transport than many beach resorts.
The hotel is best known for its range of restaurants, bars and lounges. Hakkasan serves Cantonese cuisine and is listed in the Michelin Guide, Rivaaj is an Indian restaurant also in the guide, and Astor Grill is a steakhouse with a cocktail bar. Others include Vine for breakfast and evening dining, Scalini, La Bodega Negra, Novikov Restaurant and Beach Club, The Barn, Bebabel, Sarab Lounge, the lounge bar Vintage, SAX, The Engine Room and a FAUCHON tea house. The hotel notes that OPA Doha is temporarily closed.
Leisure facilities are generous. Guests have access to a private beach, with the Vilebrequin La Plage beachfront setting, an outdoor pool and an Olympic-size swimming pool that is open until sunset. The Guerlain Spa offers bespoke treatments. Check-in is from 3pm and check-out is at noon.
The St. Regis suits couples, families and business travellers who want a beach, a big choice of restaurants and polished service in one place. With so many venues under one roof, it is also a good choice for anyone who wants an evening out without leaving the hotel. Those who want to stay in the historic centre may prefer a hotel near Souq Waqif, as the old town is a taxi ride away.
With so many restaurants on site, book the most popular ones, such as Hakkasan and Novikov, in advance on weekend evenings, and ask at check-in which venues are open during your stay.
From West Bay, Katara Cultural Village is a short taxi ride, and The Pearl is a little further north. The Corniche and the West Bay towers are close by, and the Museum of Islamic Art and Souq Waqif are within easy reach by taxi or metro.
