The Ritz-Carlton, Doha

We stayed at the Ritz in Doha for one night. We've previously stayed at Ritz properties around the world and this one is easily among the best!

The service was very genuine and warm. We were a little lost when we were trying to explore the hotel after checking in. An employee noticed (I forgot his name, but he was from Iran) and took us on a 20-25 min guided tour of the property where he acquainted us with everything on offer. Another example is when I was having trouble deciding between getting 20% off the spa vs free afternoon tea as part of my Bonvoy Gold benefit, and the check-in agent gave us both!

Rooms: very spacious, well-appointed, excellent views, comfortable bed+pillow menu, etc. One small gripe was that the body lotion, shampoo, conditioner and body wash wasn't Asprey (which we've come to expect when staying at the Ritz), but some of the other items were. The replacement product wasn't as good, IMO.

Food: The breakfast buffet was among the best we've had anywhere in the world. Excellent options across all major cuisines. Everything was high quality. I'm still thinking about the omelette!

Gym and spa: the property has two pools (indoor and outdoor). The outdoor pool was huge and had a swim-up bar. I felt like I was in Cancun. The gym had very new equipment -- and the range was the best I've seen anywhere. They even had machines for stretching.

The Ritz is going to be our go-to place for future layovers in Doha. Again, highly recommend, and the price can't be beat (barely $250 per night when we visited!)

I had a wonderful experience here. I stayed for a month, and through that entire time I was taken care of very well. One of the notable staff was Bunyod Mamajonov. He was always great to talk to at the executive lounge, he was always very helpful as well. I hope to come back in the future.

+ Great location, easily accesible Fantastic food and great variety as well as the choice Fantastic Very good, apart from the pool area Fantastic, pleasant and extremely helpful staff

Awesome service. Stayed over Eid break. Pool is lovely and also is gym. They have indoor tennis courts, great 5* breakfast and staff always asking after us.

Stayed there for a night to attend a wedding celebration. Although the hotel was busy , the staff were very helpful and attentive. We had a special discount rate for the room as we were attending a celebration there which was great. Ordered room service which was very tasty. The breakfast was good not great. All in all we enjoyed our stay.

The hotel and rooms are beautiful. I missed a connecting flight and stayed in a Deluxe King Room. They gave me a room with a beautiful city view. The hospitality and service were awesome! I'd stay again. This hotel was further away from the airport and city, if that matters to you.

Here's my experience from the hotel stay:
Facilities are excellent, spotless cleanliness and spacious.
The staff that are eager to interact with you and are ready to go out of their way to assist you with anything you need. You will find the general manager (Carlo) present at almost all the different times we visited the common and lobby areas.
The Spa experience was great, with massive facilities to use.
STK venue was also lovely where the restaurant manager (Issa) and his team were there to introduce his menu and entertain us.
Definitely a Gem hotel in Doha

The food is the best I've ever tasted. With the projection on to plate of a six inch chef preparing your meal. What an experience! The staff finishing the experience to make a great time.

Luxury hotel, Lusail view awesome! Service not as good as should be unfortunately. Room service doesn’t came to take trolley back even after two calls to reception :( but in general hotel very good!
