The hotel will open the doors to its F&B outlets on March 18, with an event set to be attended by Michelin-starred chef Wolfgang Puck.

Other facilities at the hotel include five swimming experiences with six super-cabanas, a spa with 17 treatment rooms, two ballrooms and a Sky Bridge with meeting rooms on the 50th and 51st floors.

"As always we are keen to offer our guests a service standard that is exemplary, coupled with the distinct hospitality drawn from the people of the region,” added Pirkle.

“We are very pleased to say that by hiring a mix of local and international talent we hope Four Seasons Hotel Bahrain Bay will bring the best of both worlds to Bahrain.”
