Swiss-Belhotel International chairman and president Gavin M. Faull said: “We are excited to be expanding in the Middle East and Bahrain is a very important market which we are delighted to be entering. I am confident our blend of efficient service, professionalism, spacious rooms – much larger than you would normally find in a hotel in this category – and high value rates will be popular amongst business travelers in the region.”
The Hong Kong-based firm is in the midst of expansion that will see 20 hotels open this year.
It will also extend its range of two- to five-star brands in the Middle East, where Swiss-Belhotel Seef will be joined this year by Swiss-Belresort Ghantoot in Dubai adding to its existing properties Swiss-Belhotel Plaza in Kuwait and Qatar’s Swiss-Belhotel Doha. In 2015, Swiss-Belinn Ghubrah Muscat in Oman, Swiss-Belhotel Riyadh in Saudi Arabia and Swiss-Belhotel Erbil in Iraq will open.
