Retaj Al Rayyan Hotel Shuttles

A beacon on the eastern edge of Doha’s vibrant West Bay neighborhood, the upscale Retaj Al Rayyan Hotel is a high-rise haven for admirers of the sea as well as an ideal retreat for those visiting the nearby Doha Exhibition and Convention Center. Rooms provide neutral earth tones in modern but traditional themes - same-room sitting areas and kitchenettes are also available with upgrades. Business travelers can keep relaxed by taking advantage of 24-hour room service, in addition to a relaxing indoor pool and spa providing therapeutic massages. As far as transportation goes, the hotel does not offer airport transfers to Hamad International, although Metro rapid-transit stops and bus stations are mere walking-distance. Take matters into your own hands by booking a private ride of your own, choosing between the simplicity of sedans or SUVs as well as meet-and-greet services that include no-frills taxi rides and luxury limousines.

Set time aside for fun outside the hotel’s four walls, looking forward to various seaside escapes that include floating exhibits on Qatar’s fast-moving modernization at the Msheireb Enrichment Centre as well as the more artsy sister facility Msheireb Museums across the bay, accessible via the connected Corniche Promenade and home to a wide diversity of strangely crafted homes and gallery spaces. For something closer to the heart of the West Bay community, spend the afternoon shopping at the super-sized Promod Doha City Center and its five floors of department stores & fashion boutiques, afterward experiencing the priceless breeze along the waterfront benches of I Park. And of course, no evening in the shining capital city can be called complete without a diplomatic dinner close to the hotel, whether it’s the on-site delicacies of Al Main Restaurant or water-wrapped Japanese cuisine from Nobu Doha.
