Kempinski records big growth

Europe’s oldest luxury hotel group, Kempinski Hotels, recognised here as Kempinski Grand & Ixir Hotel Bahrain City Centre, has recorded the largest growth in the Middle East and Africa region in 2012 in their Global Sales & Marketing Conference last month.


The achievement reflects the success the Bahrain property enjoyed in 2012.


Kempinski Hotels opened the property in Bahrain on September 7, 2011, marking the arrival of its first five-star city hotel in the Kingdom, just a one-hour drive from Saudi Arabia. Despite the challenging economic and political climate in Bahrain during the last two years, the hotel has firmly established its presence amongst the other five-star hotels on the island.
