Bahrain Marina Development Company has appointed Hong Kong-based Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts as the hotel management company of a luxury hotel and waterfront villas located in Bahrain Marina.
The 310,000 sq m Bahrain Marina, a waterfront complex currently under development in the capital of Manama, stretches along a pristine coastline in the heart of the city.
In addition to the hotel, the multi-use complex will feature residences, a yacht club, shopping district, family entertainment centre and waterfront dining, retail and recreational spaces.
Within the complex, Shangri-La will manage a 250-room luxury hotel, 150 one to three-bedroom suites, eight beach chalets and 21 waterfront villas.
Scheduled to open in 2022, Shangri-La Hotel, Bahrain will offer extensive recreational and meeting facilities, including five restaurants, a rooftop lounge, private beach, two outdoor pools, a health club and spa, kid’s club and a 1,038 sq m ballroom.
“Bahrain is a strategically important destination for Shangri-La and we are delighted to partner in this opportunity with the Bahrain Marina Development Company,” said Shangri-La International Hotel Management Ltd. President and COO Oliver Bonke. “Bringing the iconic Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts brand to Bahrain in the landmark Bahrain Marina will strengthen the destination as well as further enhance brand recognition in the region.”
Shangri-La currently operates six properties in the GCC, with hotels and resorts located in Qatar, the Sultanate of Oman, and the United Arab Emirates. The group’s first hotel in Saudia Arabia, Shangri-La Hotel, Jeddah, will open next year.
