Starwood Hotels and Resorts Worldwide announced its plan to develop a St. Regis hotel in Bahrain, one of the most thriving travel destinations in the Middle East. The St. Regis Bahrain will be located on a reclaimed island facing Manama's City Centre. Scheduled to open in 2011, the 300-room hotel will introduce an unrivalled dimension of luxury services.
The announcement by many is seen a vote of confidence in the Kingdom's excellent investment climate and booming hospitality and tourism sector.
"We define St. Regis by our guests. Nothing less than an unrivalled dimension of luxury and bespoke service - from arrival to departure, and beyond - will be available," said Ross Klein, President of StarwoodStarwood's Luxury Brands Group.
"The thriving city of Bahrain engages visitors with its eclectic mix of mosques, markets, skyscrapers and casinos, creating a richly textured cosmopolitan setting perfect for our global St. Regis guests. From Bahrain to Buenos Aires, Mexico City to Macau, St. Regis is committed to designing custom-tailored guest experiences in the best addresses around the world."
Boasting five thousand years of history, Bahrain is one of most frequented destinations in the Middle East due to its rich archaeological treasures, natural beauty, and rapidly evolving contemporary culture. Reachable via two access roads, the reclaimed island will be located just to the west of Reef Island and less than a mile north of Manama's Seef, the capital's bustling, commercial district. Just a 15-minute drive from Bahrain International Airport, The St. Regis Bahrain will be close to both Bahrain Bay and the King Fahd Causeway - a 15-mile bridge connecting Bahrain with Saudi Arabia. Guests can explore a variety of nearby attractions including traditional and modern shops at Manama Souq, the Al Fateh Mosque and the Bahrain Grand Prix - the only Formula One race track in the Middle East.
The St. Regis Bahrain will offer an impressive range of facilities including four restaurants, a large spa, and more than 3,000 square feet of meeting and conference space. Following in the tradition of the legendary St. Regis Hotel, New York, The St. Regis Bahrain will offer a sophisticated, seductive ambiance, enhanced by meticulous design touches, fresh flower arrangement, exquisite cuisine and the renowned St. Regis Butler service.
Trained in the English tradition, the butlers provide ever-present yet unobtrusive service while anticipating guest needs and customizing each guest's stay according to his or her specific tastes and preferences.
