Last month, Hilton Worldwide announced the signing of a management agreement with United Tower Real Estate to open DoubleTree Suites by Hilton Bahrain Dilmunia Island, which will be located at the Dilmunia Island project, currently under development off the coast of Bahrain.
Carlos Khneisser, vice-president of development, Middle East & North Africa, said, 'With more than 70 per cent of our Middle East pipeline currently under construction, Hilton’s presence is growing rapidly across the region. The project at Dilmunia Island will be an outstanding addition to the Hilton portfolio in the Middle East, and further enhance Bahrain as a hugely popular destination for travellers to the region.'
Featuring 237 serviced apartments, DoubleTree Suites by Hilton Bahrain Dilmunia Island will offer a mix of studio, one- and two-bedroom apartments. Guests will be able to choose from three dining outlets including an all-day dining restaurant, a lobby café and a pool café. Leisure facilities include an outdoor swimming pool, a spa, health club and salon. For business guests, the hotel will offer four meeting rooms, a boardroom and a business centre.
Wellbeing and vitality are a focus at Dilmunia Island, which includes residential and shopping areas, and a health district. The mixed-use development is one of several large scale projects being built in line with Bahrain’s Economic Vision 2030, a plan which aims to diversify the country’s economy.
'We are delighted to have signed a second DoubleTree property in Bahrain,' said Dianna Vaughan, global head, DoubleTree by Hilton and Curio – A Collection by Hilton. 'At more than 460 DoubleTree properties globally, our unique style of hospitality begins with a warm chocolate chip cookie welcome upon arrival and continues with excellent service throughout the stay.'
