Starwood has signed an agreement with Majid Al Futtaim Properties to launch its Westin and Le Méridien brands in Bahrain.

Scheduled to open in July this year, The Westin Bahrain City Centre and Le Méridien Bahrain City Centre will be located in the heart of Manama, in close proximity to popular tourist and commercial areas such the Manama Souq, King Faisal Corniche and Diplomatic Area.

Combined, the two hotels will add 460 rooms to Starwood’s portfolio in Bahrain.

“We are delighted to strengthen our relationship with Majid Al Futtaim Properties as we debut our Westin and Le Méridien brands in Bahrain,” said Michael Wale, President, Starwood Hotels & Resorts, Europe, Africa and Middle East. “We have a long presence in the country, dating back to 1981 when we opened the Sheraton Bahrain Hotel. We look forward to expanding our footprint here with the launch of these two distinct lifestyle brands later this year.”
