Europe’s oldest luxury hotel company, Kempinski Hotels, has signed an agreement with Bahrain-based Infracorp to launch its premium development – Kempinski Hotel and Residences – in the heart of Manama’s burgeoning downtown district.
Kempinski Hotel and Residences will occupy one of three signature towers that are part of the mixed-use Bahrain Harbour development.
It will feature 74 guestrooms situated on the upper floors and an additional 186 Kempinski branded residences spread across the rest of the building, which is expected to open its doors by the end of 2025.
A pioneer in infrastructure developments in the Kingdom, Infracorp currently has more than $3bn in assets under management.
Speaking at the signing ceremony, Bernold Schroeder, Chairman and CEO of Kempinski Group, said this landmark development re-establishes its foothold in Bahrain and the long-standing commitment to the Middle East. “At Kempinski Bahrain Harbour”, he explained, “guests will discover a warm European welcome in a setting that reflects the riches of the Arabian Gulf; a modern and sophisticated environment set around a wonderful marina at the heart of Bahrain’s financial district. We are thrilled to be partnering with Infracorp on this prestigious project.
“Elegant and luxuriously appointed rooms and suites at Kempinski Bahrain Harbour Hotel and The Residences at Kempinski Bahrain Harbour, will be the highest in the Kingdom, offering elevated views across the marina and Manama skyline from floor-to-ceiling windows and private balconies.
“Moreover, the guestrooms and branded residences will feature contemporary style interiors with soft colours, marble features and wooden textures, with accented feature walls and brass fixtures.”
Bahrain Harbour is within walking distance of local attractions such as The Avenues Mall, Manama Souq and Moda Mall, along with Bahrain World Trade Centre and Bahrain Financial Harbour.
