My stay in Doha was 2-5 April. Attending a wedding at Fairmont.
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.

Everything was excellent, right from check-in. The staff was incredibly welcoming and polite. We were also really pleased with the complimentary treats in the room – cakes, chocolates, and a fully free minibar. It's so nice to check in and immediately feel at home. The staff is also incredibly attentive and always ready to help; they let us check in early and gave us a higher floor room, just as we'd requested. We'll definitely be back!

One of the most luxurious hotels we’ve stayed at. The Crescent Suite was absolutely stunning and made our stay unforgettable. We would definitely recommend it!

This is a truly luxurious hotel. Upon entering the lobby, the first thing that catches your eye is the stunning glass 'starry sky' ceiling. The lobby is bathed in blue, and due to Ramadan, it was adorned with candles, stars, and moon decorations. The Moroccan girl at the front desk was very friendly and assigned us a corner room on the 28th floor. As soon as I stepped in, I was absolutely blown away – everything felt so dreamlike and magical! There's a huge balcony, and with the great weather, it was perfect for just sitting out and relaxing. Inside the room, there was a handwritten letter, along with complimentary nuts and fruit. Breakfast offered standard English or Arabic options. The pool was also beautiful and spacious. I'll definitely consider staying at your hotel again on my next trip to Doha.

The experience at Raffles Doha was nothing short of amazing. Check-in was a breeze. We stayed for 4 nights and booked for two rooms - Urban Suite and the other room was upgraded to the Crescent Suite. Both were on the 14th floor. The views were spectacular from both rooms from sunrise to sunset. The rooms themselves were extremely spacious. The staff went above and beyond to give you that VIP experience. The breakfast was top notch with a wide variety of fruits, pastries and made to order items. We would happily stay here again and may even try the Fairmont side.

We had an amazing stay at Fairmont Doha. Such great engagement and a warm welcome from Adonis, Prasshant and Javlon from the Front Office team during our arrival.

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 ❤️

We ate at L‘artisan and it was an incredible experience, because Collin and Zainab made it that way. They were the nicest most attentive people we met on our trip. The food was extremely delicious, too. A big thank you, to the manager Hamza. We were very happy and delighted.
Also Suleiman at Guest relations was the best at helping us out. So so nice !!! Thank you

I had an excellent afternoon tea experience at Raffles. The atmosphere was elegant and relaxing, and the staff were incredibly welcoming from the moment I arrived. The service was outstanding throughout.

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.
