About Four Seasons Hotel Bahrain Bay
- The hotel's 48-storey H-shaped tower was designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM), who also masterplanned Bahrain Bay; the structure reaches 201 m above a purpose-built 12-acre island that did not exist before 2004.
- CUT by Wolfgang Puck at this property features on MENA's 50 Best Restaurants list and holds a Michelin Key — one of only a few steakhouses in the Middle East to achieve either distinction.
- Interior designer Pierre-Yves Rochon (who has worked on The Savoy, Claridge's, and Four Seasons George V) handled the guest-room palette, while Waldo Fernandez designed the restaurants.
- The hotel's private beach is built with sand imported from Saudi Arabia, as Bahrain Bay's reclaimed substrate required imported material to meet the resort's specifications.
- Entry-level rooms start at 506 sq ft (47 m²).
History
Bold 68-storey architectural statement rising from its own manmade 5-hectare private island in Bahrain Bay, the heart of Manama. Interiors inspired by luxury sea voyages feature a palette reflecting sweeping Arabian Gulf and city skyline views from all rooms, enhanced by curated Bahraini art. Centrepiece of the $2.5 billion Bahrain Bay development, opened in March 2015.
The setting
Four Seasons Hotel Bahrain Bay rises from its own dedicated reclaimed island within the SOM-masterplanned Bahrain Bay district on Manama's north coast. The hotel's H-shaped tower, designed by the firm behind the Burj Khalifa, reaches 201 metres and is one of the capital's most recognised skyline landmarks, offering gulf views and a private beach with sand imported from Saudi Arabia. Guests reach the mainland via a private bridge, with The Avenues and Moda Mall accessible by water taxi across the bay, while Bab Al Bahrain and the Manama Souq are 22 minutes by car. Bahrain International Airport is a swift 12-minute drive, placing this island retreat at a compelling intersection of seclusion and urban access. 4 km from Bab Al Bahrain.
