Floor-to-ceiling windows in every room with epic Manama skyline views
The 36th-floor indoor infinity pool feels like swimming in the sky
Бързо резюме: A sleek, vertical palace that feels more like a private club than a hotel, though maintenance is starting to show its age in the details.
Преглеждано от @wheres.kam: I loved how sophisticated and quiet this place felt. Being adult-only makes a huge difference in the vibe. My favorite part was definitely the indoor pool—swimming with that panoramic view of Manama was an unforgettable experience.

The hype
Travelers love the 'floor butler' concept and the massive windows, but many note the furniture and carpets are due for a refresh.
Reality check
The 'high-tech' room controls (curtains, lights) can be glitchy and frustrating to operate.
You are a couple seeking a romantic, quiet escape
You are a business traveler who needs a serious workspace with a view
You appreciate a good steak (Le Sauvage is excellent)
Чистота и поддръжка
8.2
Housekeeping: Generally solid daily service, though some long-term dust on high ledges and curtains is occasionally noted.
Bathroom hygiene: Mostly sparkling, but watch out for 'tired' grout or slow drains in older suites.
Maintenance: The biggest weak point. Reports of flickering lights, finicky tablets, and loose fixtures are common.
Linens & towels: High quality, crisp, and plentiful. No complaints here.
Odors & scents: Lobby smells of signature oud/floral scent; smoking floors definitely smell like smoke.

Добре е да знаете
Valet parking is free and mandatory (no self-park)
A 10% service charge, 5% gov levy, and 10% VAT are added to bills — check if your rate includes them
The hotel is in the Diplomatic Area, which is quiet (dead) at night; you'll need Ubers to get to the dining action in Adliya
Какво да пакувате
Smart casual outfits — the vibe is dressy, especially at the rooftop venues
Swim cap (sometimes requested at the indoor pool)
Earplugs if you end up on a high floor on a weekend
Джинийче за стаята
Топ избори
Luxury Suite (corner units) for the widest panoramic views
Floors 20-30 for the sweet spot of great views without the rooftop bass
Стаи за избягване
Floors 34-35 if you sleep before 2am (directly under the lounge)

Често задавани въпроси и скрити съвети
Всичко, което наистина трябва да знаеш, преди да резервираш.
Is there really no outdoor pool?
Correct. The pool is a stunning indoor infinity edge on the 36th floor. Great for laps and views, bad for tanning.
Can I bring my 14-year-old?
No. The 16+ policy is strictly enforced. It is a major selling point for their core clientele.
Is breakfast included?
Usually not in the base rate. It costs ~10 BHD ($26 USD) per person and is a mix of buffet and à la carte.
How far is the nightlife?
The hotel has its own lounge (Txoko), but the main dining/bar district (Block 338/Adliya) is a 10-15 minute Uber ride away.
Do the rooms smell like smoke?
Smoking is allowed in designated rooms/floors. Be very specific about requesting a non-smoking room if you are sensitive.
Is the internet fast?
Yes, generally reliable high-speed WiFi is free throughout the property.

The 'floor butler' can help you unpack, but you have to ask — they won't just offer.
✨
Happy Hour at Txoko (36th floor) offers half-price drinks with the best sunset view in Manama.
✨
Ask for a '01' or '02' series suite for the best dual-aspect corner views.

💡The in-room tablets for controlling lights/curtains are often laggy or broken.
💡There is a 'Women-Only' floor available upon request for solo female travelers.
