Azqa Haroon recently checked into Embassy Suites by Hilton Doha Old Town, discovering spacious suites, thoughtful amenities and a convenient location that makes it easy to slow down without leaving the city.
There are staycations that feel like an excuse to escape your routine, and then there are those that remind you that you don’t have to go far to switch off. Embassy Suites by Hilton Doha Old Town offers exactly that, a comfortable retreat in the heart of the city, with plenty of space to relax and Doha’s cultural attractions right on its doorstep.
Located in Old Town, the hotel is within easy reach of Souq Waqif, the National Museum of Qatar, the Doha Corniche and the Metro, making it a particularly convenient choice for those who want to combine downtime with a little city exploring.
For a staycation, though, the real appeal is the hotel itself. The spacious suites feature separate living and sleeping areas, giving you considerably more room to unwind than a standard hotel room. During our stay, the generous layout made it easy to settle in, whether relaxing in the living area, enjoying a quiet morning or simply taking a break from the usual pace of city life.
Time to switch off
The hotel’s rooftop pool provides a welcome change of scenery without having to leave the property. It is an easy spot to spend a few relaxed hours, take a refreshing dip, or simply lounge with the water.
For those who prefer to stay active, the fitness centre provides a convenient way to maintain a workout routine during a stay. Together, the leisure facilities make it possible to structure your day entirely around your own pace.
Another thoughtful feature is the hotel’s complimentary made-to-order breakfast, included with every stay, as well as the complimentary evening reception. These little extras add to the feeling that everything you need for a relaxed getaway is already taken care of.
A location made for exploring
When you do feel like venturing out, the hotel’s Old Town location makes exploring remarkably easy. Souq Waqif is within walking distance, while the National Museum of Qatar is just 500 metres away. The Museum of Islamic Art and Doha Corniche are also easily accessible.
And after a day of sightseeing, shopping or simply wandering through the city, returning to the comfort and space of your suite feels like coming back to your own little retreat.
The end note: Our stay at Embassy Suites by Hilton Doha Old Town was all about space, convenience and switching off without going too far. With generous suites, an outdoor pool, fitness facilities, complimentary breakfast and a location surrounded by some of Doha’s best-known attractions, it makes a compelling choice for a city staycation.
Sometimes, the best escape is simply checking into a place where you can slow down, sleep in, and let the city carry on outside.
