The multi-million-dollar renovation of the Ritz-Carlton, Bahrain Hotel & Spa is nearing completion with the property set to reopen next month.

The hotel’s Guidance Team and employees celebrated the halfway completion with the raising of the one-tonne Ritz-Carlton Club spiral staircase from the lobby level to the sixth floor last month.
The project’s crowning glory is literally the Ritz-Carlton Club that will be expanded to two floors and connected by the spiral staircase, said a spokesperson.
The award-winning beachfront resort is reducing its number of rooms to 245 from 264 by combining existing ones although new suites will be introduced. The new room configuration will feature 156 deluxe rooms, 22 studios, 36 Premier Club rooms, 21 Senior Club suites and 10 specialty suites, one of which is the 152-sq m Royal Suite.
