Ten days Doha August

I will be ten days in Doha beginning mid August helping my daughter get settled into the university there. I am looking for the best hotel option with the following amenities - a great lounge that will provide food and drinks (alcoholic); a nice gym since it will be too hot to walk; a nice breakfast spread that can hold me to dinner; a decent pool (either inside or outside); a room that is on the larger side since I will be in it most of the time. Distance to the university is not as important as an uber will be used to travel and back and forth; connected to a mall or something (though I am not a shopper) but it would provide another area to walk around in the AC. If there is one area that is better and would allow easy access to restaurants for dinner, that would be great. We were in Doha before, but only for about 24 hours and we stayed at the LXR whose location was no good and of course, it is a dry hotel. Any other tips for that time of year would be great. I was thinking of the Waldorf Astoria West Bay; Grand Hyatt; JW Marquis; or blowing it out with either the St Regis (no Lounge though) or the Ritz Carlton getting a club room but that might be more money than I want to spend.
