Reviews
I can’t say enough about how gorgeous the hotel was. The rooms were beyond fabulous. Spacious and with a gorgeous view of the sea.
Such warm hospitality. A special mention to Hafaiz. Who was so nice to take a memorable video. Capturing me and the beautiful lobby.
It’s highly recommended and I would definitely come back.
Their Ramadan tent is literally the best in Doha. Greek outlet manager Fruzsina from F&B was incredibly attentive. The Ramadan buffet was fascinating — outstanding quality, impressive variety, and beautifully presented.
We absolutely loved the Asian cuisine, and their restaurant Provok is an absolute must-try. A special thanks to the Korean chef for his exceptional cod fish and the personalized attention he gave to our group. The Turkish baklava was the best in town — crafted by an original Turkish baklava chef — and Chef Dustin’s presentations were simply outstanding.
We hosted over 50 valued customers for a suhoor event and many of them were drawn to attend primarily because of the venue itself. Choosing Fairmont Doha played a key role in ensuring the success of our event. The entire hotel management team was present in the tent throughout the evening, personally meeting guests and making sure everyone was happy.
Love the team and the hotel — we can’t wait to come back. Thank you ❤️
Also Suleiman at Guest relations was the best at helping us out. So so nice !!! Thank you
A special shoutout to Nada, who looked after me with exceptional care and professionalism. She was absolutely fantastic and, together with her colleagues, made my visit truly memorable. Thank you for a wonderful experience. I will definitely be returning.
