Escapes

As we moved down the buffet, we discovered one of our favourite breakfast dishes, foul medames, with all the necessary trimmings. The breakfast buffet at Coral was really spot on for us and I was excited to wake up the next day knowing what was waiting for me! Although very full and satisfied after the impressive breakfast, as the afternoon rolled around and I watched the sun start to set, I decided to indulge in a bath and some room service. I had looked at the digital menu on the hotel room’s giant TV screen and was intrigued by the multiple options. The room service menu was comprehensive, diverse and well-priced, making the choices perfect for all guests. I ordered the burger and dynamite shrimp and was blown away by the quality of the food. The burger was tender, juicy and genuinely delicious. The portions were very generous and both items were rich in flavour.

The next day, we organised our transportation with the concierge, who was efficient and helpful. He suggested we take some time to try one of their signature massages at the Spa InterContinental, located on the hotel’s ground floor. Well, we took his advice and were glad we did! On our second day, after indulging in the decadent breakfast at Coral and lounging by the magnificent resort pool, we wandered downstairs to try one of their signature massages.

This spa experience was unlike any other. We were welcomed with warmed robes, fragrant ginger tea and heartfelt smiles from the friendly staff. The spa’s ambience was superb; sparkling chandeliers, the sound of trickling water and the soft and calming music set the mood for what could only be defined as a heavenly massage. My therapist led me into a softly lit room where I was treated to the signature massage where for 60 minutes, I was immersed in pure serenity. The therapist was a talented masseuse and provided a relaxing and healing treatment while ensuring I was comfortable and happy. After my massage, I concluded my treatment using the spa’s incredible facilities.

I was amazed by the extensive list of amenities the spa had to offer – a sauna, steam room and hot tub in the comfort of the hotel. They lived up to the hotel’s five-star rating and provided that extra level of luxury I had quickly come to expect of the InterContinental Doha Beach & Spa.

All in all, our mini holiday at this wonderful hotel was truly invigorating. We had an amazing experience from the moment we entered to the time we had to say goodbye. The InterContinental Doha Beach & Spa provided the perfect escape. There is no doubt that we will be staying at this Doha gem again very soon!
