Inside Bahrain’s Newest Spanish Stay: Barceló Hotel & Residences

The Spanish hoteliers behind over 300 dreamy stays worldwide—including in destinations like Marrakech, Istanbul, and Dubai—have just landed in Bahrain, opening their first-ever address in the Kingdom: Barceló Hotel & Residences.

Rising 20 storeys high in the historic Seef district of Manama, the new four-star stay blends sleek design with sweeping Arabian Gulf views, best taken in from the rooftop pool or open-air sports bar.

Inside, the 195-room property houses two business centres, a spa and fitness studio, a kids club, and interconnected family rooms—plus dining venues that fuse Middle Eastern and Asian flavours.

Just minutes from cultural landmarks like Bahrain Fort and The Avenues Mall, Barceló’s Bahrain debut taps into the city's dual identity: corporate hub by day, culture-soaked playground by night.
