Radisson SAS Hotels &
Resorts has won a contract to manage the new 15-storey extension of the 246-room Diplomat Radisson SAS Hotel in
the Bahraini capital, Manama.
The five-star extension, which together with the hotel will be called The
Diplomat, Radisson SAS Hotel and Executive Apartments, features a combination of one-, two- and
three-bedrooms, generously proportioned serviced apartments. There are also a limited number of VIP penthouse
suites.
The contract to manage the property was signed
at the recently held Arabian Travel Market in Dubai by Ahmed A. Al Zayani, Chairman of Bahrainıs National
Hotels Company, B.S.C, and Kurt Ritter, President and CEO of Rezidor SAS
Hospitality, the holding group of Radisson SAS Hotels and Resorts.
"Having successfully worked with Radisson SAS on the management of the
Diplomat Radisson SAS Hotel over the past two and a half years, we were confident in further extending the contract," said Al
Zayani.
At the heart of Bahrain's diplomatic and business district, the 121
apartments are close to the main tourist attractions and shopping areas, and
just ten minutes from Bahrain International Airport.
Ritter said: "These apartments will set a new benchmark for quality
accommodation in Bahrain. The fact that we were chosen to manage these state-of-the-art apartments is testament to our long-standing and successful
relationship with our Bahrain business partner in managing The Diplomat Radisson SAS hotel."
The apartments will include top of the range fitness facilities, while
guests will also be able to take advantage of all the neighbouring facilities of The
Diplomat Radisson SAS hotel. |
