With a sprawling beachside location, friendly and approachable service and numerous buzzing bars and restaurants, it’s easy to see why InterContinental Doha Beach & Spa is one of the city’s most popular hotels with locals and visitors alike.
The discreet lobby doesn’t really give an indication of what lies within. Boasting the longest private beach and a free-form swimming pool, the property also houses 375 spacious rooms and suites.
Combine this with no less than 10 food and beverage outlets — including the world’s largest outpost of the famous Belgian Café — and beautifully manicured gardens, and you’ve got a luxurious complex that feels more like a bustling beach resort than a well-perched city hotel.
InterContinental Doha Beach & Spa’s location is a boon for both business and leisure travelers, nestled between the soaring skyline of West Bay and tourist attractions like Katara Cultural Village and The Pearl-Qatar.
- La Mar Doha by Gaston Acurio is the must-visit restaurant in the complex, offering an authentic taste of Peru in plates of cebiche, tiradito and flame-grilled fare. Boasting a sun-drenched dining room, this casually elegant spot has gained a large fan base in a short period of time.
- The expansive beach (5,381 feet of
white sand) and pool area set this hotel apart, with views across the gulf
giving more of a tropical resort vibe than that of a pulsating city hotel.
- The sumptuously
appointed Spa InterContinental has kicked the hotel’s luxury credentials up a
notch with 16 treatment rooms, a ladies-only private indoor pool and amenities like a state-of-the-art
spa wave bed for Quantum Harmonic Sound therapy and a massage table made from
healing quartz.
- The club lounge features an undercover terrace area overlooking
the gardens and bay. Access to the lounge — which includes breakfast, afternoon
tea and evening cocktails — is exclusively available to those in the 120 Club rooms
and suites. This alone is worth upgrading your stay.
- The gym and sports facilities in the Doha hotel are extensive and up-to-date. The Bay Club is home to the sprawling gym, where you can also book water sports equipment, small boats and time on the property’s tennis and squash courts.
- This luxury hotel is one of the
most loved in the city, which means during weekends and holiday periods (like
Eid), its venues, beach and pool area can be crowded. Book ahead for
restaurants and head to the facilities early.
- This Doha property is a popular
destination for families. Those with little ones will appreciate the dedicated
shaded kids pool and indoor playroom.
- There are two InterContinental
properties in Doha — this one and InterContinental Doha - The City in West Bay.
Make sure your taxi driver knows which one you’re visiting.
- Several of the resort’s
restaurants are closed during the month of Ramadan, so be sure to check in
advance.
- InterContinental Doha Beach & Spa offers squash, padel and tennis courts.
- Thanks to the hotel’s location, 171 of the 375 rooms have sea views. Of course, those with a vista of both the bay and the
glittering city skyline are the best — and the higher up, the better.
- Rooms and suites are decorated in
muted tones with each room category having its own color accent. They provide a
rather comfortable and understated stay.
- The accommodations start at a
generous 430 square feet for entry-level Superior Rooms, while suites have
extra space, starting at 861 square feet.
- For something more luxe, the new
Executive Suites come with separate sitting and dining areas, electronic
control panels and huge bathrooms complete with deep-soaking tubs.
- When it comes to dining at InterContinental Doha Beach & Spa, you’ll be spoiled for choice with a whopping 10 food and beverage choices
covering everything from Arabic cuisine to a European-style beer café.
- Mykonos, with its island-inspired blue
and white décor and charming patio, has one of the best restaurant locations in
Doha and is popular among the city’s Greek community. Order the moussaka and the eggplant rolls with anari
cheese for an authentic taste of Greece.
- Belgian Café is one of the largest
restaurants in the city with a perpetually busy bar and a spacious terrace that
hosts live music several nights each week. The food menu is also a winner — order
the steaming bowls of mussels and crispy fries.
- With its blend of Arabian and international flavors, Coral All Day Dining is a tasty option whenever you're craving a bite.
Head to the sand to savor seafood at La Mar Beach lounge. The menu plays off of the offerings at La Mar By Gastón Acurio, but here you can enjoy the food and drinks from cabanas and sunbeds.
