Tips for Booking Hotels in Qatar

by IV S. Consultant

Planning a visit to Qatar? You must have been checking out the list of hotels in Qatar for your accommodation by now. Also, you are certainly keen on researching the kind of restaurants in Qatar to get a taste of all the wonderful cuisine in the region. Here are some tips on how to go about booking hotels that come with excellent restaurants and fine dining options as well:

•   Before you go about booking hotels, you certainly must check out the online yellow pages for options available. Online yellow pages have a list of websites and contact details of the hotels in Qatar, and you can shortlist some of them based on where you are heading. You could be heading to Doha, Al Khor or Al Wakrah…there are enough hotels in all these regions for you to choose from.

•   Having zeroed in on the location, you should also ask yourself if you would want to stay in a luxury boutique hotel, a five-star or three-star one, or a budget hotel. There are international hotel chains as well in Qatar, so, pick your budget range before booking into a hotel. Choose your hotel depending on the kind of vacation or trip you are making to Qatar. A beach vacation? Then, you must choose a beachfront hotel with private beaches. In Qatar for some networking? Choose a business hotel with meeting room facilities etc.

•   Make sure you read plenty of hotel reviews available online, after you shortlist a set of hotels in Qatar. Hotel reviews are user-generated so you get authentic experiences and photographs to base your choice on. You can also ask friends and family members for their reviews of a hotel before you choose one.

•   Check out the amenities available in the hotels and also see the fine dining options — the choices of restaurants in Qatar matter if you love to enjoy all the good food on offer. The amenities should include in-room dining, en-suite bathroom and shower, safe, work desk, fitness centre, spa, pool, laundry, airport transfers, Wi-Fi, currency exchange, doctor on call, a 24-hour concierge, etc.

•   If you are in Qatar for business, make sure that one of the hotels in Qatar you choose has good business facilities, including conference rooms, AV equipment, photocopy, fax and scanning options, among others.

Fine dining forms an important aspect of any vacation or business trip. There is a huge range of restaurants in Qatar, some located inside star and premium hotels, and some others standalone restaurant chains. You get a wide range, including Spanish cuisine, Chinese delicacies, Latin American dishes, and Greek cuisine. Traditional Qatari cuisine is influenced by Indian and Iranian dishes. If you head to one of the local restaurants in Qatar, you will notice that Kabsa (a mix of rice, veggies and meat) and a variation of it called Machbous are popular. Also try the Arabic coffee and Qahwa helw, which is a sweetish coffee.
