An enormous metal oryx welcomes visitors to the St Regis, a hotel with fantastic eating establishments (including an indoor and outdoor weekend brunch in winter), a wonderful beach and Doha’s only Olympic-sized pool. Rooms are well appointed, with butler service, while The Rooftop (winter only) is a great place to grab a cocktail. Gordon Ramsay has a restaurant here.
