This is NOT a promotional video. I pay for all of my flights and hotels (and I always tell you how much!) so I can be as honest and impartial as possible. I do not receive any special treatment that wouldn’t otherwise be publicly accessible, in fact, the hotels and airlines have no idea about my visit and that’s the way I like it!

Just stayed in the Waldorf Astoria Amsterdam, I really like the style and vibe…I’m a bit older though. Wonder how they will do when the Rosewood will open in a couple of months. Thank you for the extensive review 🙏🏼
Awesome and, at least for me, long awaited review. Felt a little short though, you didn't show the spa, gym, beach club, rooftop and the other restaurants. It is my understanding that restaurants usually open after dark during Ramadan?
Love the vibe and effort in recent WA properties. Now that I have high esteem for breakfast at Como point yamu too, please do me (us) a solid: plan a stay at WA Bangkok and order egg Benedict with truffle and caviar followed by French toast. I’ll bet it’ll be in your top 3. Nice review though despite Ramadan constraints
Great video, as always. I love how much informative I gain from watching your videos. I just stayed at the JW Marriott in Doha over formula 1 weekend. Loved that hotel too. Doha runs like a well oiled machine. It’s Disney clean. The ground experience on Qatar airlines in business class was beyond words. Simply amazing. #1 ground experience ever. I only had two minor complaints. We got “Qatared”. No Q suite from Doha to Bangkok. And I felt the only thing missing in Doha was a good central location that I could go where there were lots of cool stuff /restaurants/people watching. Everything in Qatar was so spread out. It was difficult to plan a night out without taking 3-4 taxis. It’s a 2-3 night destination.
Beautiful furnishing at the hotel and the mall. The hotel and mall without white type noise is a museum at library levels of quietness.
Sliced and peeled grapefruit! That's not something you see frequently in breakfast buffets. And I don't think food service companies sells those boxed and flash frozen?
I know you film at off peak times but were you the only guest? Hotel looks great but a bizarre vibe
Long time Doha resident here. Loved this review and you comment that Qatar isn’t for everyone and they are ok with that!
This hotel architecture looks a lot like The St. Regis in Muscat!
I did push the like button! 😊
Thank you Kevin for your work!
All of that beautiful breakfast food and no people (it seems) to eat it all. What a quiet stay to say the least. Thanks for the review(s)! Happy travels!
A week alone there with a watercolour palette sounds like heaven as an insanely busy Christmas season looms. Curious, if I don’t need another Neverfull, can I buy everyday things at the mall next door? Hugely enjoyable review, thanks.
A beautiful property. Seems like the type I'd enjoy, especially for a beach vacation. Giving me Florida, Caribbean and Mediterranean vibes.
How much revenue u get if ur not coming in front of camera right is there any difference
Thanks for another great video, I noticed that near the end of the video you showed a screenshot of your ranking of every breakfast. I really enjoy these ranking lists. Do you have more of these that you could share with your subscribers? Perhaps a whole video of just ranking lists?
Looks a decent layover hotel for a couple of nights, may have to try it out next time I'm passing through….
Exterior gives me Fontainebleau vibes
Great video, Kevin! And… a croissant stuffed with pulled beef and topped with an egg benedict? That sounds really – and I mean really – good!
Great review. I just booked the other newer Waldorf in Doha
Cool review and such a unique time to be staying. If you ever end up revisiting this property I’d be interested to hear your thoughts about how the atmosphere and service during a more typical time compares.
In this episode of Mr Flip Flops, we are excited to learn Kev had a hot date!
In fact he ate the whole box, as Aussies do, oy oy oy.
I love the Arabian or Middle East kind of music as a back sound ❤❤❤❤… Al things I could see is just white and blue which is … spotless 😊
Doha is not near spotless
Great videos, as always! Please keep adding the architectural footage and commentry. It is stunning and always helpful ❤
Thank You ✈️
Great video as usual. Try the Waldorf in Ras Al Khaimah, 90 minutes north of Dubai – and if you can get a flight into the airport here, even better,
You'll drive right past my house to!
I was going to suggest a trip to London , reviewing some of the ‘classic’ luxury hotels to be found here … but then their prices are just so obscenely expensive, as is the price of just about everything here , so why would you want to ?? I’ll suggest maybe a tour of Northern Thailand instead?ChiangMai/ChiangRai and beyond.. ? Not everyone just wants to visit beaches etc .. just a thought.. thanks as always for a cool clip , Kevin .. 🙏
Beautiful vid Kevin. Are you a Formula 1 fan? Ever been to a race? Lusail made me think of the F1 circuit there
Call me silly – The Fountainebleau Miami was calling me – great video though Kevin as always
Where are all the people literally 😮
❤❤❤❤❤❤ very nice ths
Always until the end, including the ads!
