Wyndham Hotel Group, which presently has two properties in Manama namely Days Hotel Manama and Ramada Bahrain, is growing its footprint in Bahrain by adding four additional hotels including Ramada Manama City Centre, Ramada Hotel & Suites Amwaj Island, Hawthorn Suites by Wyndham Al Juffair and finally the Wyndham Grand Manama, bringing the total portfolio in market to six hotels representing a total of 1,197 rooms.

“The Middle East continues to see strong growth and development thanks to its rising middle class,” commented Dan Ruff, Wyndham Hotel Group’s president and managing director, EMEA.

“This is driving increased interest from developers for globally known brands like Ramada and others offered by Wyndham Hotel Group, which are well positioned to meet the emerging travel needs of consumers in the region. The Middle East is a key region of focus for Wyndham Hotel Group and to help meet growing demand, the company recently bolstered its management resources there by more than 30%.”
