Overview
Doha has transformed from a quiet Gulf port into one of the world's most architecturally ambitious cities. The Museum of Islamic Art, Souq Waqif, and Formula 1 circuit form its core attractions.
The W Doha, St. Regis Doha, and Hyatt's Andaz Doha all offer outstanding redemptions. Cash rates are among the highest in the world, which means a well-executed points redemption yields some of the highest CPP values available.
Doha works brilliantly as a stopover hub thanks to Qatar Airways' exceptional connectivity. A multi-day stopover adds a world-class destination to any long-haul itinerary.
Cash vs Points
Hotels in Doha range from $38 to $1296 per night. Points redemptions offer 2.61+ cents per point value.
