Leading hospitality chain Gulf Hotels Group (GHG) and Saudi-based Asdal Group have officially opened the doors to The Asdal Gulf Inn, a four-star deluxe boutique-style hotel in Bahrain.

The 94-room landmark property, which formerly operated as L'Hotel in the prime business district of Seef, was inaugurated by Industry, Commerce and Tourism Minister Zayed Al Zayani at a glittering ceremony on Wednesday (February 17) night in the presence of senior government and hospitality industry officials.

Also present at the opening were Asdal Group owners Shaikh Abdulaziz Al Jammaz and Shaikh Nasser Al Jammaz, GHG chairman Farouk Almoayyed along with chief executive and board member Aqeel Raees.

Asdal Gulf Inn is a four-star deluxe boutique-style hotel spread over four floors and houses 89 fully renovated luxurious rooms and suites besides a spacious meeting room, contemporary business centre and underground parking.

It also boasts three restaurants serving Italian and Lebanese cuisines along with an all-day dining outlet along with key facilities such as a mini-gym, rooftop swimming pool and a sauna.

The hotel, which aims to cater to the weary business traveller, is just a 15-minute drive from the Bahrain International Airport and a short walking distance from major shopping malls of the kingdom.

Also the new boutique hotel is an ideal stopover for the F1 enthusiasts as the race venue (Bahrain International Circuit) is a short distance away.

Hans Radek, the general manager, said: "Asdal Gulf Inn redefines the world of luxury accommodation with service that is professional yet warm and instantly welcoming at a competitive four-star pricing."

"You can feel that special touch the moment you enter the hotel," he added.-TradeArabia News Service
