Postcards from Shaza Doha: A Weekend at Shaza Doha

31 Aug 2026

Sometimes, the best getaway doesn’t require a flight.

When the weekend arrives, you don’t always need to leave Doha to feel away from it all. At Shaza Doha, a luxurious staycation can be a chance to slow down, sleep a little longer, enjoy exceptional food, get some work done, explore the city, and end the day in complete comfort.

Here is how to make the most of a weekend at Shaza Doha.

Wake Up Slowly

A staycation should begin without an alarm.

Take your time in the comfort of your room, enjoy a quiet morning and let the day unfold at its own pace. Whether you’re travelling as a couple, enjoying a family break or simply taking some well-deserved time for yourself, Shaza Doha’s comfortable rooms and suites provide the perfect setting to switch off from your usual routine.

And there’s no need to rush breakfast.

Start the Day with a Shaza Breakfast

Start your morning with a generous breakfast buffet at Midan Restaurant, where a variety of flavours and freshly prepared favourites set the tone for the day ahead.

Take your time, enjoy your coffee and choose your favourites before heading out to discover Doha—or simply staying in and enjoying your staycation a little longer.

Because weekends were made for slow breakfasts.

Cool Down by the Pool

Once the Doha sun is up, it’s time to cool down.

Head to the outdoor pool for a refreshing escape without leaving the hotel. Whether you’re taking a leisurely swim, relaxing by the water or simply enjoying a few quiet moments under the sun, the pool is the perfect place to embrace the slower pace of a staycation.

No itinerary required.

Stay Active at Any Hour

For those who like to keep moving, the 24-hour gym means your workout doesn’t have to follow a schedule.

Start your morning with a workout, squeeze in a session between plans or exercise whenever the mood strikes.

Because your routine shouldn’t have to take a weekend off—unless you want it to.

Who Says the Office Needs Four Walls?

Sometimes, changing your surroundings is all it takes to change your perspective.
At Shalimar Lounge, freshly brewed coffee fuels your creativity, natural light inspires fresh ideas, and a comfortable atmosphere gives you the space to stay productive while enjoying a change of scenery.

Whether you’re working remotely, preparing for your next meeting, catching up on emails or simply looking for a peaceful place to focus, Shalimar Lounge offers a welcoming setting to work, connect and unwind.

Bring your laptop, choose your favourite seat and make Shalimar your workspace for the day.

Make Friday About Seafood

When evening arrives, make your way to Midan Restaurant for Fisherman’s Seafood Night, every Friday.

Enjoy a generous seafood buffet featuring the ocean’s finest flavours, prepared and served in an inviting atmosphere designed for sharing.

Fresh catches, rich flavours and a table surrounded by the people who matter most—the perfect way to end a Friday.
Every Friday | 6:30 PM – 10:30 PM

Make Saturday a Journey Through Damascus

Saturday brings a different culinary experience.

At Damascus Night, discover the rich flavours and traditions of Syrian cuisine at Midan Restaurant.

Chef Hekmat Barakat brings his personal touch to the experience, revisiting familiar and much-loved dishes and transforming them into a distinctive culinary experience.

It’s more than dinner—it’s a journey through flavour, memory and tradition.
Every Saturday | 6:30 PM – 10:30 PM

Step Outside and Discover Doha

A staycation doesn’t mean staying indoors all weekend.

Shaza Doha places you close to some of the city’s most fascinating experiences. Take a walk through Msheireb Downtown Doha, discover its contemporary architecture and cultural character, then continue towards Souq Waqif to experience the traditional side of the city.

Spend the afternoon exploring, shopping, discovering local flavours or simply wandering through the streets at your own pace.

Then come back to Shaza Doha.

Your room is waiting.

Wind Down Your Way

The best part of a staycation? Knowing that you don’t have to go anywhere.

Return to the comfort of your room and create your own evening ritual.

Choose the perfect pillow from our pillow menu, designed to help you find the comfort that suits you best. For an added moment of relaxation, enjoy a soothing bath with a luxurious bath soak, settle back and watch your favourite programme on the TV screen while you unwind.

For those who love a calming bedtime atmosphere, our sleeping scent adds another sensory touch to help you transition from a busy day to a peaceful night.

Your Weekend, Your Way

A great staycation doesn’t need a complicated itinerary.

It can be a slow breakfast, a refreshing swim, a few productive hours over coffee, an evening of exceptional food, a walk through the heart of Doha and a night of uninterrupted comfort.

At Shaza Doha, you can make your weekend exactly what you want it to be.
Wake slowly. Work differently. Dine beautifully. Explore locally. Sleep deeply.

Your next Doha escape might be closer than you think.
