The St. Regis Doha

Embracing the trademark sophistication of the Astor Family, the original guiding spirit of St. Regis, the Caroline Astor Suite and John Jacob Astor Suite each present a sumptuous combination of rich fabrics, warm desert hues, and tactile materials, including smooth dark wood, which forms Arabic arches against high ceilings and golden walls.

In the adjacent living room, dramatic views over Pearl Island or Doha’s West Bay and glittering Arabian Gulf capture the city’s ancient architecture and enchanting history. These inspirations also debut in the suite’s opulent fabrics and Arabic-influenced custom furnishings. Comprising two couches and a coffee table, they set the scene for memorable moments shared over beverages from the mini bar and a custom soundtrack courtesy of the iPod docking station. Meanwhile, a 42-inch Sony LCD television with DVD player reflects the hotel’s commitment to uncompromised living, as does the abstract modern art in the John Jacob Astor Suite. For everything else, a dedicated St. Regis Butler is always on call.

In the Caroline Astor Suite, carved Mashrabiya wood screens separate the living room from the study, while in the John Jacob Astor Suite an Arabian dark wood arched double doorway leads to a private study. Both areas house bookcases and expansive desks equipped with complimentary High Speed Internet Access and multi-line cordless phones with voicemail.

The opulence resumes in the suites’ respective bedrooms. Here, either Middle Eastern-influenced details and lavish fabrics or a carved dark wood headboard frame a signature king-size St. Regis bed topped with 300-thread-count Egyptian cotton linens and down duvets, which benefit from evening turndown service and an adjoining day bed.

A generous walk-in wardrobe with dressing space leads to the expansive marble bathroom. Adorned with marble mosaics, it boasts a double basin and carved dark wood vanity that complements a deep soaking tub with inspiring views through floor-to-ceiling windows. Ornately etched glass doors open to reveal a separate rainforest shower or WC with bidet, while Remède Spa bath amenities add to the calming experience. An additional guest bathroom is located off the living room.
