The Qatar Hotel Guide

July 7, 2009 - 6:05 am No Comments

Qatar as a nation is largely dependent on the revenue of foreign businesses as well as the industry generated by business visitors and tourists coming to see the multitude of attractions and unique features of the nation. As a result, there is a nigh on confusing level of hotels available for people to stay in while visiting, be it in the capital

The center of the vast and profitable hotel industry,Doha, of course, by its nature as the transportation, tourist, and business center of Qatar. Offering a variety of different services and several kinds of levels of amenities,there are numerous Doha hotels. The cheaper, lower end of hotels in Doha offer a full range of customary treatments for the customer, including restaurants in the lobby, swimming pools, Jacuzzis, hair salons, and assistance with booking any sort of event or participatory activity. Many hotels offer discounts for tourist packages, where you can save money with one hotel by pre-purchasing tickets for one activity or another, be it something in the harbor or something fun to do out in the desert.

You will find that those hotels that cost you a little more are the ones that are better rated and will show you more about what Qatar is really about. Because the Qatar Tourism Authority regulates what a 5 star hotel is and who gets rated at such a high rate, you will find that those who have been given the 5 star rating will go above and beyond to keep that recognition.

A hotel on Al Istiglal road in Doha,take for examples, “Intercontinental Doha”. It is close to any number of activities, and those that are not within walking distance can be reached in no more than ten minutes by taxi or bus. That is just the start of the star treatment available there,and there are over five different restaurants inside of the hotel proper.

Extra services offered by the staff are truly all inclusive, providing a number of amenities unseen and unheard of in most any other country. There are babysitters who will watch the children while you and your love enjoy an evening in Doha, and when you return, you can have alcohol delivered to your room. Travel to anywhere from your hotel is handled by a proprietary shuttle, and all rides in said transport are pre-paid when you make the reservation for your room.

Doha is not the only city to offer amazing places to stay; Al Khor has a number of resorts in its region, including the world famous Al Sultan Beach Resort. Is little more than a half hour outside of the capital city,and it is less than a mile from any of the attractions of the city. As well a style of Jacuzzi that is not seen anywhere else in Qatar, and is certainly worth the experience,providing a number of the aforementioned travel or tourism packages for people staying in the hotel, the Al Sultan Beach Resort also features the largest pool in all of Qatar.

Further outside the borders of the big cities are a number of other resorts and Qatar hotels, generally in the more naturally beautiful parts of the country. Providing visitors with the opportunity to ride horses or even camels throughout the sand dunes of the Inland Sea,many of these more rural hotels have stables on their grounds. These accommodations are far enough away from mainstream civilization to offer a fair deal of privacy as well, espoused by the number of private villas for rent and the beach houses scattered along the little coves of the Persian Gulf.

If you’re staying in Qatar, there are a vast number of places to choose from when trying to pick where to stay. Since there is regulation and oversight of the QTA, you can specifically look at pricing to determine a hotel with good quality and lots of features. Places further outside of the big cities generally offer discounted rates because of lack of access to the mass transit of Doha. However, riding a horse through the desert certainly has its own appeal that is not easily discovered in the back of a bus. There is a place in Qatar for you and yours,no matter your desire or intention.
