Booking hotels could sit at either end of the travel planning spectrum. Either it could be a total breeze, or it could be a pain point for travelers — partly due to the plethora of options available. However, one of the biggest issues that most travelers face is pinning down the cheapest prices, especially since all hotels have their strengths and amenities. When it comes to booking hotels, the Qatar Airways hotel booking option is excellent. It’s one of the main options on the Qatar Holidays webpage and allows you to choose from more than 200,000 hotels, and that too across 500 destinations in the world. What’s more, the Middle Eastern airline even features limited-time deals on hotel packages, which is a great way to save on your stay, especially if you have planned it beforehand. Here are some of the best stay packages and deals from Qatar Airways.
The Seminyak Beach Resort & Spa, Bali, Indonesia
6
We begin with Bali, the “Island of the Gods,” if there ever was one. The bustling towns and cities might be the entry point to the country, but beyond that, you’ll find pristine beaches, lush rice paddy fields, and ancient Hindu temples. Of course, adventurous activities abound too, whether it’s mountain hiking, biking, swimming, snorkeling, and whatnot. In the end, the island’s diversity means that there’s something for everyone here.
Since Bali has so many great micro-regions, including Ubud and Seminyak, there is no dearth of hotels to choose from. One of the top-rated hotels is the charming Seminyak Beach Resort & Spa, which is also one of the best hotels with private pools in Bali. You’ll have the choice of ocean/garden views, but all their private pool villas boast gorgeous pools as well as a gazebo with a garden or a poolside pavilion to unwind. Additionally, they’re all spacious with mod-cons and Balinese designs and touches.
The amenities at this resort are no less amazing, especially the outdoor infinity swimming pool that directly faces the ocean. Besides hearty complimentary buffet breakfasts, the two restaurants serve other meals and drinks as well, including every cuisine imaginable. Did we mention the complimentary afternoon tea and sweet delights every evening? Yes!

Four Seasons, Sydney, Australia
5
In our humble opinion, Sydney on the eastern Australian coast, has it all. Few world cities have history, rich heritage, natural beauty, and modernity in the form of cultural, culinary, and creative offerings all rolled into one. This city, which is spectacularly draped around its gorgeous beaches and glorious harbor, has a visual wow factor in spades. From the Sydney Opera House and zoos to whale watching and boat tours, exploring Sydney is exhilarating. That’s why your stay should be luxurious, and no one does luxury better than the Four Seasons, which is a class apart. The Four Seasons Sydney is no exception. Perfectly perched overlooking the stunning Sydney Harbor, the dramatic harborfront views are just the tip of the iceberg here. So, what’s the deal here? Deluxe King/Queen/Twin rooms cost around USD 1,600 (including taxes and fees) for 4 nights in November 2024.
Choose from 500+ contemporary rooms and suites, all with huge windows with Instagram-friendly views, custom-designed Signature Four Seasons beds, refrigerated private bars, and spacious marble bathrooms with plush bathrobes and deep-soaking tubs. The amenities make the experience all the better, especially since you can request a cup of Chinese tea via the room service as you soak in the harbor views. A restaurant, a bar, a grab-and-go cafe, and a poolside cabana bar serve all meals, big and small, cocktails, and even afternoon tea, besides in-room dining.

Hotel Bel-Air, Los Angeles, USA

Palm trees against a bright blue sky are what comes to mind immediately when we say Los Angeles. The vibrant West Coast city goes by many names — Hollywood, Tinseltown, City of Angels — and they all fit it perfectly. Besides being one of the country’s most dynamic cities, it’s famous for world-class museums, Hollywood glam, and a crock of laidback surf-worthy beaches. of course, there are also world-famous restaurants, hipster bars, gorgeous parks, and whatnot. Did you know that Los Angeles is also one of the top-rated Qatar Airways US destinations? So, staying in Los Angeles is equally special, especially when it’s done at Hotel Bel-Air. It might be one of Los Angeles’ most expensive hotels, but it’s worth it. This is especially truer since its guest roster includes the who’s-who of Hollywood; think Marilyn Monroe, Cary Grant, Liz Taylor, Grace Kelly, and more.
The top amenity here is the Dorchester Spa, which radiates warmth and has a huge menu of spa services perfect for unwinding. Plus, the setting couldn’t be more perfect; secluded pink bungalows nestled amidst a lush garden with a bevy of birds flitting around. Despite one restaurant, you’ll find every cuisine under the sun, along with cocktails too. Another great place to unwind is the massive outdoor swimming pool, where you can enjoy a swim and lounge at the daybeds later. Wrapping up the facilities is a fitness center.
Choose from 103 rooms and 45 suites, all of which feature huge windows with gorgeous garden views. You’ll certainly love the spa-style bathrooms which are also equipped with slippers and bathrobes. Since this hotel is expensive, even Deluxe Rooms here cost USD 5,000 for 4 nights. Given the history and the luxury quotient of the hotel, it’s a great deal indeed.

Centara Ras Fushi Resort & Spa Maldives

Whenever one thinks of the Maldives, images of stunning white-sand beaches, colorful cocktails, and luxurious overwater villas come to mind. As much as it is a holiday of a lifetime, Maldives is more than just relaxation. Besides lying out in the sun, some of the most popular activities here include scuba diving and snorkeling to explore its underwater world, visiting islands where locals live, skydiving, wreck and reef diving, indulging in water sports, dolphin cruises, picnics, you name it. Of all the atolls, the North Male Atoll is the most visited one due to its proximity to Male Airport.
One of the most popular hotels in the North Male Atoll region is Centara Ras Fushi Resort & Spa Maldives. The adults-only resort boasts just 140 rooms, all of which lie wither over the water on stilts or along the coast. Moreover, all rooms feature luxurious touches like 24-hour room service, bathrobes, flatscreen TVs, and swanky bathrooms, and the overwater ones even have alfresco bathtubs and steps leading down to the ocean! While there’s nothing like staying in an overwater villa, we found a fantastic deal on the beach villas too. Staying for 4 nights in a Lagoon View Beach Villa will set you back USD 1,600 (including fees and taxes). However, the Overwater Villa (without a pool) costs USD 1,660. So, you’d be paying USD 1,000 more for an experience for a lifetime.
Besides exceptional service, the resort has three restaurants serving Middle Eastern, Italian, and Thai fare, along with three bars serving delicious cocktails. What’s more, there are many water activities on offer too, including PADI courses for scuba diving for first-timers and an outstanding dive center. Did we mention the free Wi-Fi? Yep.

Banyan Tree Bangkok, Thailand

Thailand’s frenetic and cosmopolitan capital, Bangkok, truly showcases juxtaposition in real life. Chaos in the form of motorbike and rickshaw exhaust, incense, and charcoal grills sit easily alongside cozy cocktail bars, Michelin-star restaurants, and luxury hotels. Overwhelming? Yes, but not quite. Bangkok has it all: parks and gardens, a river flowing in the middle of the city, delicious cuisine, temples, and more temples. It’s no wonder we found some excellent hotel deals here, but we were most impressed by Banyan Tree Bangkok.
This all-suite five-star hotel in the Silom/Sathorn district is perfect for all kinds of travelers, including business executives, culture vultures looking to explore, and lazy vacationers. What’s more, it has some of Bangkok’s largest rooms, all of which feature kitchenettes, spacious bathrooms with double vanities and deep-soaking tubs, and wonderful views. Depending on the room, travelers even get access to food, drinks, and unlimited services in the Club Lounge. The best bit? All rooms have special Spa Sanctuary Retreats with an unlimited list of in-suite spa services! If you stay in the entry-level Horizon rooms for 4 nights in November 2024, it’ll cost you around USD 850-870, with the Skyline rooms costing up to USD 950.
The amenities are no less, which include an exceptional spa (no surprise there), a spectacular pool dotted with foliage and verdure, and a wonderful rooftop with a swanky bar, fire pits, and some of the most jaw-dropping views of the city.

Hotel Indigo Lower East Side, New York, USA

Few cities are as magnetic as New York City, also famous as the Big Apple, the Center of the Universe, the Empire City, and many more names that only it could carry off. A top-rated and recommended Qatar Airways hotel accommodation in the city is Hotel Indigo on the Lower East Side. This edgy hotel fits seamlessly in the historic Lower East Side, where the punk rock movement was born and where 19th/20th-century immigrants settled and made a life for themselves.
Multiple features make Hotel Indigo such a highly-rated hotel, starting with the simple but spacious rooms and suites. Think complimentary Wi-Fi, large HDTVs, polished hardwood floors, and spa-like bathrooms with rainfall showerheads. What’s more, all of them boast Keurig coffeemakers, minibars, C.O. Bigelow bath products, and Frette linens, with luxury suites adding slippers, terry cloth bathrobes, and balconies with panoramic city views. Staying for 4 nights in November 2024 will cost you around USD 1,500 including fees and taxes, which is a fantastic deal for the hotel’s location and amenities.
Aided ably by a friendly and down-to-earth team, you’re sure to feel comfortable and at home. Some of the additional perks here are the seasonally heated rooftop pool and the business and fitness centers. The highlight is the brand-new Mr. Purple, a trendy nightclub, restaurant, and bar on the 15th floor, which boasts gorgeous views. It’s no wonder it’s also one of the best hotels on the Lower East Side.
