"The InterContinental Doha Beach & Spa is, like many of IHG’s delightfully straightforwardly named properties, exactly what it sounds like: a wellness-focused luxury resort by one of the biggest names in the business, within sight of the skyscrapers of the Qatari capital but surrounded by palms and beaches rather than buildings and boulevards. The vast swimming pool, surrounded by loungers and lawns, is dwarfed by the private beach, which is slightly more than a mile long — and within this perimeter is a self-contained luxury experience that, for all its seclusion, may as well occupy its own private island." - Tablet Hotels
