A staycation and travel addict who tries to toe the balance between living the atas life and maintaining some resemblance of financial sanity.
I’ve decided to bundle this trip into a trip report after all – the trip which I randomly booked wayyy ahead due to a previous Amex offer on Cathay Pacific for $100 off any $500 spend. And this is how I’m going on this 3N fun hop for only $400+ on economy.

All good things must come to an end. Sigh.
I couldn’t wait to board this flight after the rather mediorce experience at the lounge. Especially when they will be serving caviar yay!

This became one of my checklist after watching a video on this gorgeous property – I was completely smitten and started thinking when I’d get to live it up in this crazy luxurious spot. This was THE checklist of the year for me. Can’t wait can’t wait can’t wait can’t wait.
I also have to disclaim that whatever I am going to review on is based on the fact that this is a Raffles, apparently one of the best hotels in Doha at the moment, and charging me SGD600+ per night. So everything was pegged to expectations from a property of this calibre.

This was the first hotel of my trip and it wasn’t a difficult decision to pick this spot as there were limited Bonvoy properties in the city. Plus, the rooms had undergone a refurbishment and based on pics, the new rooms looked quite nice.

I have to admit that by the time this flight came around, I was half tired half excited with the zeal in me muted by the time difference + travelling + wonky eating schedule. So this is going to be a very moderated review of my first flight.

This is the OG of the Qatar Business Class Lounges (website) and I was excited to see how different the experience will be from the newer The Garden.
