Embassy Suites by Hilton Doha Old Town opened its doors to guests in November 2022. A hotel brand owned by Hilton, Embassy Suites is renowned for its all-suite accommodations.
Situated along Jabr Bin Mohammed Street in the heart of Doha’s Old Town near the beautiful Doha Corniche, the hotel enjoys a prime location, with easy access to some of the city’s most iconic local attractions. Within a mere 10-minute walk, guests can explore the vibrant Souq Waqif, the National Museum of Qatar and the Museum of Islamic Art. The hotel is also conveniently located close to metro stations, making transportation hassle-free for visitors.
With 151 all-suite rooms, each suite comprises a separate living room and bedroom, suitable for families or travellers seeking more space. It is also an excellent accommodation choice for those visiting on business, as it provides spacious meeting rooms, a multi-function room, and a fully equipped 24/7 business centre.
As for staycations, Embassy Suites Doha has become increasingly popular as a way for residents to enjoy a short getaway. As much as I love my own bed, I couldn’t help but get excited when I received the invitation. Who doesn’t like to try a newly opened hotel?
Checking in for one night is a breeze with Daisy at the reception. She answered all my enquiries and explained the package thoroughly. After a smooth check-in, they offered to escort me, but I opted to explore on my own since I only had a small bag.
When you enter the room, you will be immediately captivated by the welcoming ambience. My room’s view was splendid, as I was on one of the top floors.
As I explored the living area and the bedroom, the tech enthusiast in me was delighted to discover a television in each area and an alarm clock equipped with a built-in wireless phone charger. Additionally, you’ll be provided with complete amenities, ranging from body wash and conditioner to a shoeshine cloth and a sewing kit! Not to forget the complimentary bottled water, coffee and tea packs. These thoughtful details truly enhance the overall experience, making for an enjoyable stay.
Lunch at Copper & Spice
A quick freshen-up and I was off on a culinary adventure for lunch. I headed to Copper & Spice restaurant, located on the third floor, which is open from 6:30 am to 9 pm, serving meals from breakfast to dinner and in between. The à la carte menu features pizza, pasta and a selection of Arabic and Indian dishes. I ordered the Chicken Caesar salad and Fettuccini Alfredo, and I must say, the pasta is one of the best I’ve tried so far. Complemented by a club sandwich, I’m ready to splash my day away.
Outdoor Rooftop Swimming Pool
The pool offers a pleasant depth for both adults and kids, while the perfectly sized jacuzzi provides a relaxing and soothing soak. You’ll find well-maintained and clean toilets equipped with showers. Alongside them, you’ll find changing rooms where you can freshen up and get ready after your swim or jacuzzi session. There’s also a convenient pool bar, IVY Terrace, where you can order refreshing mocktails while enjoying the glittering views of the Doha Corniche.
Fitness Centre
The hotel is well-equipped to cater to leisure guests seeking a stay that blends comfort and relaxation with comprehensive facilities, featuring a 24/7 fitness centre. This fitness centre has separate areas for men and women, complete with changing rooms. Guests can also enjoy an outdoor rooftop swimming pool, adding to the array of amenities available for a truly enjoyable and rejuvenating experience.
Indian Night at Copper & Spice
And so it was that I set off to sample the delights of India. Having lived in Qatar as an expat for over a decade and a half, and being surrounded by Indian friends and colleagues, I must say that I can almost discern whether the food is truly authentic Indian or not. The evening was filled with vibrant Indian flavours and a live Tandoori station.
My culinary adventure began with crispy and light dosa, perfectly complemented by chutney, vegetable bajji (tempura), and papadums. However, what truly stood out were the Chicken Tikka Biryani and Dum ka Murg (chicken) dishes, which are remarkably fresh and tender. Writing this now, my mouth waters at the thought, and I find myself tempted to order another serving. I hope these delectable dishes will soon be available on one of the delivery apps so that all of you, readers, can sample their deliciousness.
The evening concluded on a refreshing note with a selection of fresh fruits. The Indian Night at Copper & Spice is available every Friday, from 6:30 pm to 10 pm, priced at QAR160 per person.
Breakfast at Copper & Spice
After a splendid night’s sleep, it was time to indulge in the breakfast buffet. With sunlight streaming into the breakfast room, it was a perfect way to start the day – brewed coffee, sunny-side-up eggs, beans, waffles, and my favourite that day, beef sausage. I have been to several breakfast buffets, but this one was unlike the rest.
All room categories include breakfast for two people, and there is an option to add an extra QAR110 per person. Guests can also enjoy light bites and drinks at The Library, located on the ground floor.
Sadly, it was time to pack my bags. My staycation has come to a close. Check-out was, as usual, a breeze with Daisy still there to assist me. I cannot wait to return for another wonderful stay.
