Glad the W respected your Platinum status and gave you a nice upgrade! What happened at the Hilton?

I've got the same thing coming up, 11 hour day time transit which I'm not that keen to spend at the airport... not really sure if I should even bother trying to book, or negotiate with QR (though the most likely outcome of that is that the email gets forwarded to some poor worker who has no authority to do anything but obey the rules 100%)

I’m sorry if this has been asked/answered already, but I’m flying to Amman from JFK with a 14 hr evening layover in Doha.
Can I get this offer without doing the multi-city booking since I have a layover longer than 12 hrs? Or is that the only way?

I've got the following options in December for my plusqatar stay. I've seen Doha before, so mostly concerned with the nicest in-hotel experience. I get in at 4pm, and out early morning, so breakfast is not a consideration at all (so my hilton and marriott golds don't add meaningful value). Any strong opinions on the best option for me?

no multi-c needed. NEVER had a MC booking, and always +Qatar worked

Otherwise the Marriot is handily situated next to City Centre mall and across from the far classier Gate mall. Intercontinental the City is also very close by. If the other (resort) Intercontinental is on the list, it's a nice place with some fun bars - but on the other side of the city from the airport.
I wouldn't bother with the others.

Hi,
First time here at QR forum, sorry if my question has been answered before...
Planning a family trip from HEL to SIN with possibly a connection at DOH in Feb/Mar 2019, any insights if this "plusqatar" thing will be continued also 2019?

We don't know quite yet, but given how they have continually extended the "offer" repeatedly for the last year or so, it seem quite like a reasonable possibility.

Agree with IAN-UK. Souk Waqif is perfect for your stopover.
Get to visit the most interesting part of Doha (the Souq), no need for taxi's, just walk out the door. Property has more character than the usual chain hotels. And as you say, you are missing nothing re. elite benefits/stay credits.
Just $10 uber from the airport.
This is where I stayed on my last transit and was very happy

Souq Waqif. Nicely set up hotels, and you can fill the evening quite comfortably mooching round the souq, dining/snacking/people watching. You can stock up on falconry kit, and get your bird checked-up in the falcon hospital. It's also handy for the airport. Above all it's DIFFERENT!

I think they actively watch out for any cars disgorging lost looking tourists outside the premises.
We stayed at that particular location, but I saw a golf cart and I assume they would shuttle you over to the other properties if that is where you needed to be.
