Hilton Bahrain
A Review of The Island’s New Upscale Residential Hotel
Advertisement
In August this year, Hilton inaugurated its second property within reach of Bahrain’s entertainment hub. The 45-story Hilton Bahrain is a pet-friendly, upscale residential hotel providing short and extended stays for guests travelling into Bahrain on business or looking for a weekend getaway. Bahrain Confidential got to spend some quality time at the brand-new property and experience the amenities, the dining, and the hospitality.
Overlooking one of the two seas, the property, while offering a splendid view from its higher floors, also gives guests an opportunity to explore Bahrain. Located in the heart of Manama, the hotel is a short drive away from attractions like Bab Al Bahrain (Manama Souq), Al Fateh Grand Mosque, Bahrain City Centre, and the World Trade Centre among others.
Once inside the hotel, the modern Arabic-style interiors will make a subtle impression on you. The design is meant to reflect Bahrain’s history through elements of black gold, aquamarine representing the two seas, and a pearl white shade for Bahrain’s name – Pearl of the Gulf.
Rooms
The 45-floor tower is home to over 348 residential spaces (studios, one, and two-bedroom apartments) with each providing a view of the sea. The rooms are designed for short and extended stays with a kitchenette in the smaller flats or a full-fledged kitchen in the bigger ones.
They are equipped with workstations, dining areas, a reading nook, and spacious walk-in closets. If you’re one to prefer a good
view, you might choose to permanently reside on the balcony during your stay.
We’ll say this again, Hilton Bahrain is petfriendly!
Dining
The dining options at the hotel include Origin – Kitchen & Culture, Cocoluna Lounge, and Lamar Cafe & Lounge.
Origin Kitchen & Culture is the hotel’s all-day diner, accommodating up to 138 guests under a starry ceiling. The restaurant is home to Hilton’s Friday Brunches, buffet spreads, live cooking stations, and an a la carte menu.
Note: Make sure to check out the diner’s home-grown green produce when you visit.
Cocoluna Lounge on the other hand has a breezy vibe, perfect for a late afternoon hang. You can enjoy some fresh beverages with beats and bubblies in an outdoor set-up with a great view of Juffair Beach. The Lamar Cafe & Lounge is a comfy bistro on the ground floor, by the lobby. The cafe serves baked pastries, gourmet snacks, and freshly brewed coffee all day round.
Amenities
On the hotel’s sixth floor, you’ll find a temperature-controlled outdoor pool for kids and adults. The pool operates from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM with a stunning view of the sea. The hotel has a fully equipped fitness centre with a personal trainer and access to steam and sauna and a jacuzzi.
The Cocoon Wellness Centre offers an extensive spa treatment package which includes massage and a flower bath. The relaxation room has a rather interesting body-healing chair with a crystal-filled mat along with infrared and LED lights.
To sum up, this new property in the heart of Bahrain is an impressive addition to the island’s luxury hospitality sector. Make sure to book a stay with them for your next holiday. n
