About Gulf Hotel Group

The vision of the then Bahrain Hotels Company back in 1967 was to provide a standard of hospitality unrivaled on the Island, which was duly delivered with the opening of Bahrain’s first five-star property, the Gulf Hotel. Some forty years later, this philosophy remains the same although the Gulf Hotel has changed beyond recognition, continually expanding and upgrading to meet modern-day demands. In 1975, the then Bahrain Hotels Company acquired the beverage distribution company “Vinsales”, later to become Gulf Cellar and more recently rebranded as Gulf Brands International. The addition of the 2,200-seat state-of-the-art Gulf Convention Centre in 1997, located adjacent to the Gulf Hotel is a clear example of the Company’s commitment to meeting the needs of the International MICE market.
