Bahrain’s first 5-star luxury boutique hotel

Located next to the vibrant Bab Al Bahrain souq, this new boutique hotel comes at an exciting time as the surrounding area is currently being regenerated to re-establish the prominence of downtown Manama.

With only 46 beautifully appointed suites, The Merchant House features a unique collection of contemporary art and bursts with exciting work by well-established Bahraini and international artists alongside talent from around the Gulf.

The rooftop is where you will find the hotel’s restaurant and bar and its outdoor garden terrace. A spa, a gym, and an emerald rooftop pool complement the hotel’s offering, as well as a small boardroom for meetings and events.

Every aspect of The Merchant House has been designed to provide a special, exciting place to stay when visiting Bahrain.

... The judging panel also noted the hotel succeeds in attracting a trendy and upmarket international crowd throughout thanks to its sophisticated and elegant décor coupled with graffiti art and splashes of colour that awaken the senses."

At the heart of Downtown Manama

At 150 Government Avenue, you are at the very heart of Downtown Manama. Steps away from the Bab Al Bahrain (Gateway to Bahrain), a historical mid-century building located in the Customs Square, marks the main entrance to Manama souq (or market).

Built in 1949, it once housed the government’s administrative offices and overlooked the sea. Sailing merchants used to dock to unload their cargo for commerce. Since then, Bab Al Bahrain has evolved but the Ministry of Culture preserved the building as a cultural landmark and restored it to its former glory. It now accommodates the tourism sector offices and a visitors’ center for wandering enthusiasts.

Behind Bab Al Bahrain is the old Manama souq. It offers a unique shopping experience, which recalls the trading history of the region. Featuring a vast collection of shops and traditional restaurant settings that will please more than one – from textiles, spices, incense, perfumes, handicrafts, souvenirs and much more. A must-place to visit in Bahrain!
