ibis Styles makes Bahrain debut in Manama's diplomatic quarter

AccorHotels opened its newest property in the Middle East - ibis Styles Manama Diplomatic Area in Bahrain – in partnership with owner, developer and asset manager Action Hotels PLC.

Launched in response to demand for economy and mid-scale brands in the Bahraini capital, ibis Styles Manama marks the 10th global collaboration between AccorHotels and Action Hotels PLC.

Action Hotels CEO Alain Debare said: “We are pleased to introduce the award-winning ibis Styles brand to Bahrain, with the opening of a property designed to strengthen the Kingdom’s hospitality offer in the economy and mid-scale segments.” He continued, “Bahrain is an important market for us and this new hotel is strategically complementary to the existing ibis Seef. Both hotels are operated under long term management agreements with AccorHotels and will benefit from commercial synergies and economies of scale.

Situated in the heart of Manama’s main government, diplomatic and financial district, the 95-key ibis Styles Manama Diplomatic Area is located within a 15-minute drive from Bahrain International Airport and offers access to corporate offices, embassies, Bahrain World Trade Centre and Moda Mall.
