Record as new hotels directory launched

RED House Marketing (RHM) launched its eighth annual Bahrain Hotel & Restaurant Guide at a gala dinner at the Regency InterContinental Hotel last night.

Several hundred people attended the event to collect copies of the 108-page pocket directory, the largest to date.

"The number of hotels and restaurants across the kingdom continues to grow at a phenomenal rate," explained RHM publisher and managing director George Middleton.

"This year's guide reflects the record expansion within Bahrain's hospitality and food and beverage industry."

Mr Middleton says the directory features 115 hotel and luxury apartments and 278 eating establishments that range from cafes and fast-food outlets to family dining outlets and five-star restaurants.

The hotel section includes property descriptions, amenities and a photo of each property.

It also lists each property alphabetically and by star rating. Restaurants are listed both alphabetically and categorically by the type of cuisine being served. It also includes opening hours, price categories and facilities.

Mr Middleton says the directory is especially helpful for newcomers and visitors to Bahrain because it includes write ups on many of the places featured, as well as the location.

"The directory is also useful for Bahrainis and long-time residents because it contains many new establishments," he continued.

The guide will be distributed to home subscribers of the Gulf Daily News in Monday's edition.

Copies will also be presented to advertisers and will be available for BD1 at select bookstores.
