Four Seasons Bahrain Bay pre-opening team moves in

The pre-opening team has officially moved into the Four Seasons Hotel Bahrain Bay, which is expected to open by the end of this year.

Led by general manager Greg Pirkle, the team is putting the finishing touches to the property before it opens doors to the public.

Although it is currently not taking reservations, a spokesperson for the hotel confirmed to HotelierMiddleEast.com that its soft opening is expected in December.

The first hotel for the luxury brand in Bahrain, the property is a 68-storey structure towering over the capital Manama.

It will feature 273 guest rooms and six options for indoor or outdoor dining and drinks, including three outlets by celebrity chef Wolfgang Puck.

The hotel will also have five swimming pools and six super-cabanas, as well as a spa with 17 treatment rooms. For events it will have two ballrooms and a Sky Bridge with meeting rooms on the 50th and 51st floors.
