Even though it is one of Doha s older hotels, the Ritz-Carlton retains an air of ornate elegance and exclusivity. It s also a great choice for well-heeled families as children are treated like royalty here - pink marshmallows for dessert, anyone? Rooms are spacious and in-house restaurants are available. Lagoona Mall is nearby for guests who want to get a bit of shopping in or grab a quick bite to eat. Ask for a room facing the lagoon so you can see the sun rise in the morning. The outdoor pool area has some of the nicest landscaping in Doha - I especially like the waterfall and surrounding bougainvillea and palm trees. There s also an indoor lap pool and, of course, a spa.
