The Merchant House, Manama

The Merchant House (Manama, Bahrain) Verified Reviews | Tablet Hotels

"The Merchant House opened next to Bab Al Bahrain souq, in a part of downtown Manama that's seeing renewed attention. The 46-suite hotel carries a serious contemporary art collection, with Bahraini and Gulf artists sharing wall space with international names. Bright fabrics and saturated colors give the interiors more energy than most boutique properties manage. Each suite functions like a small apartment: kitchenette, separate living area, proper bedroom. The rooftop handles everything else: restaurant, bar, emerald-tiled pool, garden terrace. Small hotels either feel cramped or get it right. This one gets it right." - Tablet Hotels
