On its own island surrounded by the Gulf, the Doha Ritz is as grand as you'd expect from the American hotel giant. Enormous windows, polished floors and bulbous chandeliers decorate the lobby, while rooms have French-oak hardwood floors and Tuscan-marble bathrooms. The Club Lounge is regarded as one of the best in the city, for both food and service.
Cigar fans can smoke up a storm at Habanos bar. There's a rather good kids club here.
