Surprised by the negative St Regis feedback as its one of our favourite properties in Doha, and been going to it for years! With the refurbishment the hardware is now up there with the excellent service. They are a little stingy with the upgrades I agree with that whereas before I used to be upgraded to 2 bedroom suitess etc now I usually get the St Regis Suite or the Caroline Astor Suite but again you may need to request it but usually they comply. There is a glut of options in Doha and actually one we been enjoying recently is Royal Meridian partly because its got an excellent hard product but also the location is brilliant attached to Vendome mall and near Al Maha island...
