Waldorf Astoria hotel brand to debut...

Located in Manama, the 120-key hotel will feature two pools, a spa, a fitness centre and meeting rooms

Hilton is partnering with Al Sorouh Hospitality Development Real Estate to introduce the Waldorf Astoria hotel brand to Bahrain.

The Waldorf Astoria Bahrain Bay will be located in the capital, Manama, next to The Avenues – Bahrain, a waterfront shopping and leisure destination.

The 120-hotel will also be close to Bahrain Financial Harbour, the country’s main commercial district, and will offer easy access to the highway connecting Bahrain to Saudi Arabia.

Each guest will be assigned a Personal Concierge to personalise their stay from pre-arrival to post-departure.

Dining options will include a brasserie, a rooftop bar and the brand’s Bahrain version of its signature afternoon tea spot, Peacock Alley.

Facilities will include two pools, a fitness centre, a spa and three meeting rooms.

Chris Nassetta, President and CEO of Hilton, said: "As Bahrain continues to grow and diversify its tourism offerings, we see tremendous opportunities to expand our portfolio.

“Waldorf Astoria Bahrain Bay will embody the luxury and excellence that travellers expect from our globally renowned brand."

Mohammed Alshaya, Chairman of Al Sorouh Hospitality Development Real Estate, added: “Waldorf Astoria Bahrain Bay will be part of the phase two extension of The Avenues – Bahrain, and it will play a key role as we endeavour to make the development one of the most sought-after destinations for shoppers and travellers in the country and beyond.”

The announcement strengthens Hilton’s enduring partnership with Alshaya Group and its affiliated companies, which already includes two hotels at The Avenues – Kuwait, including Waldorf Astoria Kuwait, and three hotels at The Avenues – Riyadh in Saudi Arabia, including Waldorf Astoria and Canopy by Hilton.
