Qatar Grand Prix essentials at-a-glance
How to get to Qatar for the Grand Prix?
Qatar Airways, the national airline, provides direct flights to Doha from many international cities across Europe, Asia, the Americas, and more. Doha's Hamad International Airport is a major hub with state-of-the-art facilities, making it accessible from virtually anywhere in the world.
Where to stay at the Qatar Grand Prix
Downtown Doha has the highest concentration of hotels, ranging from comfortable mid-range chains to luxurious top-end properties.
Since the metro provides efficient transport to the Lusail International Circuit, consider a hotel within easy walking distance of a metro station that links directly to the Lusail Metro Station. This will make your travel to and from the Grand Prix both quick and straightforward.
For a more relaxed setting, there are several resort-style hotels outside the city. Keep in mind, though, that staying here generally means you'll need to rely on private transfers, such as taxis or rideshares, to reach the circuit.

What our customers say...
"Every attention to detail was taken care of"
★★★★★
If you thought the pit stop at F1 was faultless, then try booking your F1 experience with Rob. He is so genuine, knowledgeable and understanding of what you think you want, but he just makes it BETTER.
I booked a birthday present for my wife a luxury day trip to the Monaco Grand Prix.
We could not have felt more VIP if we tried, everything was taken care of and was faultless, evan down to extra leg room pre booked on both flights.
Every attention to detail was taken care of. I had several conversations with Rob discussing best options/ opinions, nothing was too much trouble.
We opted for a 10th floor apartment, and the views were better than expected, and the service, food and hospitality was amazing .
