Hilton will open its first Waldorf Astoria brand of hotel in Bahrain.
The Waldorf Astoria Bahrain Bay is expected to be operational in 2028 and will be located in the heart of Manama, next to The Avenues – Bahrain, a premier waterfront shopping and leisure destination that includes a mix of luxury retail, high-street shopping and entertainment areas.
Hilton signed a deal with Al Sorouh Hospitality Development Real Estate on Tuesday.
Waldorf Astoria Bahrain Bay will feature 120 elegantly designed rooms and apartments. Continuing the brand’s renowned service, each guest will be assigned a Personal Concierge who will meticulously attend to every detail of their stay from pre-arrival to post-departure.
The hotel will offer a curated range of food and beverage options, including a brasserie, a specialty roof-top bar, and the brand’s famed Peacock Alley. It will also feature elevated amenities, including two pools, a fitness centre, a spa and three meeting rooms with the latest technology.
Chris Nassetta, President & CEO, Hilton, commented: “We are thrilled to expand our partnership with Mr Mohammed Alshaya, his team and Al Sorouh Hospitality Development Real Estate to introduce Waldorf Astoria to Bahrain for the first time.
“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.”
Bahrain Bay is one of Manama’s most exclusive districts and the hotel will be near the Bahrain Financial Harbour, the country’s main commercial district. Hilton already operates three properties in the Kingdom.
The announcement strengthens Hilton’s 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, also including Waldorf Astoria.
Mohammed Alshaya, Chairman of Al Sorouh Hospitality Development Real Estate, said: “We are pleased to once again partner with Hilton to bring Waldorf Astoria’s iconic hospitality to the region.
“Waldorf Astoria Bahrain Bay will be part of Phase 2 extension of The Avenues – Bahrain and 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.”
