Leaders in operating luxury accommodation, including Bahrain’s pre-eminent five-star hotel, The Gulf Hotel will make its debut at the Arabian Travel Market in Dubai May 4, 2010 where they can be found at their corporate stand number HC1200.
With its flagship Gulf Hotel and Gulf Convention Centre in Bahrain’s capital Manama, the group’s developing range of interests takes another step forward in September with the launch of another innovative hotel development, the opening of the much-anticipated K Hotel.
Founded in 1967 as the Bahrain Hotels Company, todays Gulf Hotels Group continues the original vision of providing an unrivalled standard of hospitality on the island.
Quoted on the Bahrain Stock Exchange, the group diversified its business with the launch in 2000 of the Gulf Hotels Group to undertake the management of hotels and catering operations on behalf of investors. Further innovation came in 2006 when the Gulf Hotels Group opened its first luxury services apartments, the Gulf Executive Residence in Bahrain.

Food lovers will not be disappointed, with 15 restaurants, ranging from Italian fine dining, traditional Persian and Lebanese, authentic Japanese and Chinese cuisine to the highly-popular Mexican option.
Refurbished in 2007, the property is home to the Kingdom of Bahrain’s largest conference and convention facilities within a hotel, offering outstanding venues for all sizes of events, from small business meetings to major symposiums.
