The Biggest Hotel Room

I traveled to Qatar this week for some management team meetings. When I checked in, they told me they had upgraded me to a suite. OK - that has happened several times to me, so no big deal. This is no regular suite! I think it's the biggest hotel room I've ever had.


Here's a view from the living room to the dining room/conference room.

And the control panel for the toilet. Hmmm - I actually had to call the bell boy to show me how to flush the toilet.

Hmm. Looks like a real man pad.I think that toilet has more controls than the first Apollo flights!
Yes, it definitely is designed to appeal to the Arab gentleman. The suite is called the Bond Suite. It's designed around the 007 movies. All the movies are available for the DVD. There are posters and movie memorabilia around the room. Definitely doesn't cater to the ladies. Too many gadgets! The toilet is on auto feature and the lid keeps lifting each time I walk into the bathroom. It's a bit off-putting when all I want to do is brush my teeth.

Ooh. Next it could be speaking to you. That could be really off-putting.
Yes, I'm glad to be back in the land of simplicity. I never did figure out the shower. I called the bell boy who was also stumped had to call the engineer who showed me how to use it. Of course it worked fine when the engineer was there. But by the time I was ready to step into the shower, it had stopped working again. Finally, I just had to take a bath - because I just couldn't be bothered really. I mean a person only has so many minutes in the day to devote to turning on their shower right. After 20 minutes, you just need to move on.
