The Sheraton Bahrain Hotel & Towers is currently undergoing a major refurbishment and developing a direct link via the adjacent shopping mall to the twin towers of the Bahrain World Trade Centre Complex.

The revamp, which has already seen the top three floors of the hotel and the Al Taj Ballroom completely transformed, is scheduled for completion by September this year and includes improving all 256 rooms and suites and all dining, leisure and meeting facilities.

The five-star property, which is remaining open to guests throughout the redevelopment, first opened in 1981.

The hotel is managed by the Starwood Hotels and Resorts group. Details: www.starwoodhotels.com
