OLD IS GOLD

Layal Al Mahmoud delves into the world of luxurious hospitality. The Gulf Hotel, Bahrain glimmers as the golden jewel maintaining its glamorous position throughout the years.

We immerged to the reception to a warm welcome from the staff and the festive Christmas decoration. A quick double check on our booking and up to the first floor; we spend few minutes with another lady receptionist to register our personnel details while sipping on a cup of a cold detox water.

And here is one of the talented two therapists that will apply our treatment coming out to meet us and escort us to the couple’s treatment room. What a vast space a luxury indulgence! two therapy beds to the left, a jaccuzi tub in the middle of the room decorated with rose petals and candles spreading a romantic vibe. To the right hand side of the door, a waiting area equipped with two long chairs and a dresser on which we enjoyed a therapeutic cup of hot green tea with honey along with a plate of healthy cookies. In the other part of this spacious room which is the biggest of its kind on the island, a toilet, a jungle inspired shower, and a steam room with a collection of three different scents: refreshing icy peppermint, dreamy lavender, and aromatic orange. To enjoy these in-room facilities, make sure you spare an hour of your time, it is too much fun and listen to me when I tell you: keep your husband away from the huge ice bucket :)

We booked one hour of massage and it is time to start! we have been given the privacy to strip out of out close and slip into the chunky bath robes, then, the therapists kindly rinsed our feet with warm water and a magical powder that carries the aroma of one thousand roses; this will definitely make a fabulous gift for any occasion!

They say “Old is Gold”, and I say, in the world of luxurious hospitality in Bahrain, The Gulf Hotel is the golden jewel that is maintaining its glam throughout the years.

Only one year ago that The Gulf Hotel have decided to add a five stars SPA to its extended range of outstanding services. We visited the luxurious property for a couple’s treatment and we did not want to leave!

Not having to enter the hotel in order to reach the Gulf SPA, we drove to the parking lot opposite to the entrance through the second gate that takes you to the conference centre.

The massage was nothing less than magical and we both agreed that both therapists were extremely good and professional. I wished to have it soft with a concentration on the legs and arms to take away the fatigue and I was 100% satisfied.

What a great experience to quick off my winter vacation! go ahead ladies and book a couple’s treatment at The Gulf SPA from the inveterate Gulf Hotel with your mate, or choose one of the fantastic choices in a long list of lavish treatments that you totally deserve!
