Lonely Planet review

No expense has been spared to ensure that this is Doha's most opulent and exclusive hotel. This is no place to come in jeans and a t-shirt: the black and white marble in the foyer, the silver service high tea with piano concert, the towels folded into a swan in the topiaried garden, are details that require a similar commitment to style and expense on the part of the guest.

The resort is a fair way out of town with a splendid spa, but sadly, with the neighbouring development of the Pearl Qatar complex, the private beach and marina is not quite the haven it once was.
