I Stay At Raffles Doha - This Is Incredible! 

We agree!

as for me ... I HATE such impersonal big htoels - too much is too much - makes NO sense , especially when empty : NO one around ! makes the videos dull really (NO offense for Tim...😏, but hope one day he takes the role of a rich customer (dress up, have expectations, lets look what a real dinner is for those privileger customers - play the game Tim , but don"t talk too much with that accent ! I mean it kindly : being french ... when would you come to Paris or in Bretagne Island of Brehat ) 😏 with your nice wife of course and kids !

Love the look, wish it was in Australia ❤

Doha is the dump of the Gulf. Saudi, Bahrain, UAE and omg Oman are just stunning. Kuwait pretty shody like Qatar

are you sure🤔​@@diorocks5858

@@nm4698 which is not that mini at all.... 😂

Actually those you mentioned do. This is garish and tacky. Ritz and Mandarin would do it elegantly.

It's worth pointing out that "RGB" stands for red, green, blue, i.e. it gives you a way to control the color of the lighting. Not everyone knows what RGB stands for and it wasn't apparent to Tim.

Me too lol I'm in Perth.

I'm in Sydney

😂

No ma'am, no sir! We must find out how many people can fit into the shower. Of the utmost important. 🤭

lol. Hi from Cairns.

And I was also wondering what those for! Thank you for the info.

Place looks empty!

Came to say this - Plus I can't believe people don't know what they are. (Uk)

American here to say the same, also called shoe stretchers.

This drove me nuts haha, Tim, you should know this!

and im not allowed to say im shocked anymore ;-)

@@garyboyle104 7 star Burj AlArab would dispute that claim

@@WalkWithMeTimYes! The suite was simply magical!

@@garyboyle104 but he couldn't sleep. Windy noise

BUT he is not ment to reaveal it all neigther !

he loves his job and is proud of the hotel! which is so good to see

its just normal in the gulf, My boss in Saudi bought me a house in London. Every quarter we had to produce the p/l report and then he would say well good job I think you should take a holiday. Boom of for a month traveling South East Asia. Years ago when I took my first flight to start work in KSA! BA flight and Saudi girl helped her with her bag. Oh first time is Saudi? Yep well I will arrange for my driver to bring Starbucks and drop you to your hotel. On the Sunday I moved to the compound. OMG 5 pools and a club, stunning. Next door Saudi Airlines Cross the road Cathay. Transferred to Bahrain then Abu Dhabi same company.

but it looks so dull = empty : no customers around apart from the condierges and cleaners !

" I guess people are still in bed" Seems no one goes to these places, "if you build it" and all that.

@@wtttrips just a show off for the Destinity - for my part I find this place merely dull ! and Tim having a Burger whereas he could taste so many wonderful things ... and not getting dressed up a bit (be it only for politeness reasons ...for the place AND for us ! - may be his wife might be jealous, BUT she should join him in these places too ...)

Real luxury, I’m blown away ❤😊

@@Maimitti True. If you're going to stay in a place like that you should dress the part.

Wow!

Really incredible how Doha has transformed, great story sir.

Sink with water 💦

Expected global sea level rise was taken into account in the design of the whole “land area” of the development, so it should not be any worse off than other coastal cities around the world.

@@jimmygordonhansen Lusail once completed (not far off) is to me more of a western holiday destination potentially, but really it and Doha are practically joined. It is impressive as they look to chase the Dubai sunbed crowd 😀

I must have missed when Tim told the price, would it be possible for you to let me know. TIA

@@elizabethnaisbitt1795 Nine hundred and something pounds a night

@@elizabethnaisbitt1795 around 36:28 - £926 for one night

@@elizabethnaisbitt1795 its 924 pound per night

On the hotels Website you can rent rooms from 700 to $1600 per night.

Agree

Tim, this, THIS, is the reason why everyone loves your channel, you open a window into places we can only dream of, that room is just perfect, one of the best I've seen on your channel, wow!!

It makes the Beverly Hotel 🏨 look 👀 lame 😂😂😂

​@@rturney6376😂😂😂😂😂I have to watch it now😂😂

​@@beezigthere's a million travel channels that do content like this

the smart elevator, wow!

Wow what an amazing hotel got to be the best yet well done xx

Elegant? 🤣

Tad bit better than the Circus 🎪 Circus. But not by much! 😉

@harrydestaffano565 yes!

Thank you!

and the RGB is red green blue, often the name for LED lights.

yeap that kind of Hotel can be up to 15 000 euros per night !

900 pond per night​@@Maimitti

@@MaimittiAdd 1 zero or 2 while you are at it.

Sure, with all the slave labour it was possible.

Have fun! 😉

Do you need a travel companion 😊

You do realize it’s in Doha. What a creepy place.

I’m a Brummie - come!

​@@N0bodyKnowsMeThat's an assumption! Doha is not creepy at all!

Shoe trees

Shoe trees don't stretch your shoes; shoe stretchers have mechanisms in the front to widen them if your shoes are too tight. Shoe trees don't have that mechanism.

Me too

I've used enough to say UK key cards exhausting up -down up- down ,they're forever not working down to reception..

means alot , thank you .. good luck with the channel

thank you

No one there!

How many people smoke Cigars?

Good luck 🍀 👍

@@lindavis224 Thank you!

Good luck

@@WalkWithMeTim Thank you! 🙏

Is that right?. I thought it might have been named after the fictional jewel thief "A.J. Raffles". Extremely impressive hotel.

Katara in Greek means Curse😂

Not listed on their website as a flagship..

Interesting. I’ll never give one dollar to the Qatar government. People should research which nefarious groups they fund.

@@Gri-n9l Katara in arabic means it drips water in Arabic. and I doubt its a curse. if anything the greek got cursed anyways meanwhile Qatar flourishing

Too bad they overcooked it though ;-)

its a waste to use wagyu as mince and made into a burger patty. High quality wagyu is like you said, known for their fantastic marbling and texture, most of which is just lost when you mince the meat.

I agree - that’s what happens when you use Wagyu beef for a burger. Burgers are best made from cheaper cuts from a flavour and texture perspective. Keep the Wagyu for steaks!!!

@@urbi38 because of the ratio of fat in wagyu meat, it's really hard to cook a burger to medium/rare otherwise the fat wouldn't render.

​@@urbi38You can guess Tim ordered a well done burger! Come on!

@@krisnapv3063 the hotel is still new. I don't think it's up to 2years old. So let's wait till it's up to atleast a decade old

It’s open less than2 years give it time. 😅

@@alexpeter1 100%.

We agree!

Omg this hotel is incredible,love the shower I reckon 12 people at a squeeze could fit😂😊😊😊

Totally agree!

Yes. He didn’t show us the spa nor the gym..usually he shows all the resort amenities..

@@mashenka6189 the spa is incredible, nothing like I’ve seen before

I felt the same when he said the price. I wasn't expecting it to be under 1000

We can in summer but not in winter when its popular - everywhere I google says do not go in summer its just too hot - travel insurance commpanies say not to go due ot heatstroke!!! Though Id probably not leave the hotel!

What was the price?

@@jmonteith4868900 pounds for one night

@@jmonteith4868Tim paid £ 926 for one night, with bed and breakfast 😊

Or for men’s belts or ties?

Havn't seen a dirty laundry tote ? !!

It’s actually specifically designed for a woman’s hand bag. They are made in half circles and/or full circles. They hold a luxury hand bag without causing creases to the strap.

@@chrisjenkins203 would make sense as a half circle, but a closed circle… not all are detachable and no handles are so that doesn’t add up

@@tereasia That room was truly amazing.

The economy has hit tourism hard.

I don't think he stays long enough to worry.

Let’s not mention the human rights issues hey David

he didn't want to be filmed so i respect that

@@neferazure isn't it more no mantain the shoe shape?

Does a shower need to be so fancy?

@@Roadent1241 Sometimes

@@Roadent1241 The entire hotel is built from unnecessary fanciness so why should the shower be any different? It's like you are complaining that it's too good. If you don't want a fancy shower stay in a travel lodge.

I googled the name of the shower thing and like you said it was also a steam cubicle. Very posh

I'd imagine the RGB would illuminate the water stream from the shower as well

The little hairy thing in the drawer is to shine the shoes?You might be right. Too bad he didn't ask the butler the features he had in his room. It looked like mink fur. I though it might be to polish a sword, some cultures carry a ceremonial sword for dancing . If it was for shoes, it would have been in the box with the shoe horn and the brush. Anyway, you were the only one commenting on it.

I think Tim is hilarious! Love his accent too! ❤️

@@laurastone6578 Think he should DRESS UP a little when staying in those places ! not playint I am the groomer ! and ... a pity these wonderful hotels are merely empty : it makes the vidéos a bit dull too ... why not having a glimpse (discreet) on the locals OR rich visitors (must be rich for staying there !)

i didn't look smart then .. ? i didn't see anyone walking around in a suite ;- )

Agreed. Money can't buy you class

@@Emma-mk8jvyou’re saying this Qatari mess is class? ROFL.

Better in architecture and design. Looked empty, lifeless, and not very fun to me…I’ll take Ibiza, any day..over this place…

@mashenka6189 Nonsense! For some. Solitude like this is heaven!

Yeah I prefer the solitude.

😥😥😮😮thank goodness, that would have made your stay so much more expensive if they had charged. They probably have insurance for damages like that.

Omg

What is it anyway?
