Ritz Carlton Bahrain
Mamlakah al-Bahrain, otherwise, The Kingdom of Bahrain, is ruled by the al-Khalifa family. Since the 19th century the British have been responsible for its defense although Bahrain became truly independent in 1971. It has, however, been an important and successful trading post for around 5,000 years. Bahrain is located to the western side of the Persian Gulf, a series of 33 islands which are completely independent to its neighboring countries. Bahrain is the largest island, lying roughly 18 miles west of Qatar and 15 miles from the eastern edge of Saudi Arabia. Manama, the capital city of Bahrain, is where the five star Ritz-Carlton Bahrain Hotel Spa is located, situated in the Al-Seef district where you can book a night’s luxury from around UKL100 per night.
This luxury spa resort consists of seven storeys, set within 20 acres of reclaimed land. Luxury villas, within the Spa’s grounds, are interspersed between cool, verdant greenery, situated along the beachfront. The complex is described as an urban resort complex, on Manama’s seafront but just 3km from the city centre and 11 km from Bahrain International Airport. The 264 guestrooms were all renovated in 2007 to particularly high standards, all well-appointed with all the mod-cons you would expect from this standard of luxury resort. There is an on-site housekeeping service, offering twice-daily provision and a laundry service. Each bedroom offers three different kinds of allergy-free pillows. All soft-furnishings are now fully flame retardant for guests’ additional peace-of-mind.
The bathrooms contain WC and bidet, with ultra-modern rainshowers and marble fittings, together with a wall-mounted magnifying mirror. There is an integral wall safe and hair dryer and each room has full coffee making facilities, plasma televisions offering multilingual programmes and an honour bar. There is also a high-speed internet access with data port and an executive-size desk. Guests can be sure they are comfortable with each room having an individual air-conditioning control.
There are many places of interest not too far away. The Bahrain International Exhibition Centre is just 1.5 miles away but, if it is shopping you want, the Seef Mall is only 1 mile from the hotel and the Bab El Bahrain Souk is just 2 miles away. The Souk Market is also within comfortable distance, just 3 miles away. For a taste of history and culture, visit the Bahrain National Museum which is 5 miles away and, to visit the Grand Mosque, you only have to travel 4 miles from the Ritz-Carlton Hotel complex.
As you would expect with a Spa Resort, there is a heated indoor pool and, in concession to Bahrain’s temperatures, a chilled outdoor pool. The Ritz-Carlton also takes pleasure in providing its guests with its own private beach on Manama Bay, complete with lagoon and private island. There are also plunge pools, a steam room and sauna. The leisure complex is fully equipped with the latest in cardio-vascular resistance equipment and free weights so you can keep in trim after taking full advantage of the Ritz-Carlton’s 24-hour restaurant facilities.
