So there were some really really good things about this hotel.

I am currently hosting a group, corporate entertaining for the Qatar Open Tennis 7th - 22nd February, 2025

Held every year, at the magnificent Khalifa International Tennis and Squash Complex.

At just 210 rials I think you will struggle to find everything offered at the Grand Regency Wyndham garden.

It is dated, if you have ever visited old hotels in Moscow or Odessa it does have that falling down feeling but in a good way.

The old fashioned concierge and service reminded me of excellent hotels in fays gone by. A piano player in the lobby and stunning floral decorations.

It doesn’t compare of course to the new builds in the West Bay but my party, mainly European really enjoyed the old world luxury in a hotel frequented mostly by locals, which gives it a very authentic service based experience.

The breakfast provided was better than the hotel. truly 5 star and anything and everything you could want.

The high light for me was the spa and the wonderful massage I received. The pool was very small and the lounging area a little cramped but aromatherapy and oud fills the air and you stop noticing the old carpets and fraying drapes of an age gone by.

Lovely authentic spot for travellers on a budget located close to the airport and Landmark mall.
