InterContinental Bahrain, an IHG Hotel

I safely made it back to Dubai last night after what was supposed to be a 2-night stay in Bahrain turned into an unexpected 6-night stay due to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. Amidst all the uncertainty, my experience at InterContinental Manama was truly exceptional, all thanks to the incredible team. I had two attempts to leave the country by land, and I am especially grateful to Anwar and Bheemesh for arranging a reliable car service and ensuring both the driver and I had enough water and snacks for the long eight-hour journey back to Dubai. That thoughtful gesture meant so much to me. A big thank you to Bikash for sharing his valuable insights on securing the transit visa and for all the helpful conversations that made navigating this situation much easier. To Raissa and Cherry, your help with printing my documents was greatly appreciated, and even our brief chats made the days brighter. To the Housekeeping team, Joher, Merin, and Sofikol, my room was always tidy, organized, and well-stocked. I also want to thank Rachel and the entire breakfast team — your kindness, attentiveness, and cheerful service made every morning a comforting start to the day. And to the Club Lounge team, Didar, Ricky, Zaura, and Sujita, since I was working remotely, the lounge became my daily workspace and comfort zone. Your warm service and great food made every day feel much better. Team, your thoughtfulness not only made my stay comfortable but also helped me navigate a stressful situation with calm and confidence. I will always remember the generosity and warmth you showed me, and I pray for safety, peace, and well-being for each of you in the days ahead.

We had the pleasure of experiencing Iftar at the InterContinental Bahrain, and it was truly one of the best Iftar gatherings we’ve had. The selection of food was excellent, with a wide variety of delicious dishes and beautifully presented desserts. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and well organized. A special mention to Ms. Arbelle, who was very accommodating and friendly throughout the evening. Her warm hospitality made us feel very welcome — it truly felt like home. Highly recommended, and we will definitely be coming back!

We stayed for 6 nights over Christmas 2025 and our time at the IC Regency was pretty faultless. We stayed in a One Bed Suite and Housekeeping did an excellent job of maintaining the room daily which was much appreciated. ||The Christmas Day buffet was superb. Great entertainment, food and service. The staff really worked hard to ensure all of the guests had a great time and it was much appreciated.||The highlight of our stay however was our evening visits to the Club Lounge hosted by Siyam. The week we stayed Siyam was flying solo as his colleague was on holiday. It's a big and busy lounge for just one host every evening but Siyam is exceptional and a real credit to the hotel. Despite being very busy he remained professional, attentive and provided excellent service at all times. He takes time to get to know you, is very engaging and really makes you feel like you're at home with a friend. Nothing is too much trouble. We were gifted a Thankyou card and some Christmas dates and truffles by Siyam on our last night and we were really touched by that as it was above and beyond anything we expected and was so much appreciated. ||We'll be back next Christmas, if not before, and we really hope to see Siyam still hosting the Club Lounge and making the evenings special. A big thankyou Siyam and everyone else at the IC Regency that gave us a really memorable Christmas.

I recently attended the Iftar buffet at InterContinental Bahrain and had a wonderful experience. The selection was well-curated — not overwhelming. allowing guests to truly enjoy and appreciate each dish prepared. The food quality was consistently good, with a nice variety of traditional and international options. A special mention to Mohammed for his warm and attentive service. He made sure our table was well looked after throughout the evening, which made the experience even more pleasant. Overall, a refined and satisfying Iftar experience that I would happily recommend.

It was our third visit to Bahrain on holiday, and, just llike the first 2 times, we made a point of staying at the IHG Intercontinental. We were very well welcomed and most grateful that we could check into our room so early in the day. This truly exceeded our expectations, THANK YOU! During our stay, we noted quite a few staff being so kind and helpful. Subir and Rebecca for example, always respectful and welcoming at the pool area, always available without pressuring us with food and drinks but prompt to serve them when asked. Kyi at Elements was excellent, smiley and very considerate, taking time to explain to me the pool breakfast booking available- which I recommend! Hsu, in Noor was so gentle, so precise and attentive to details. She knew our little daily routine! Finally, Anne in Reception was very helpful and helped me with advice on how to recover missing points - as we paid on the day and ommitted to note our IHG membership... I would like to add that the staff above stood out because we interacted mostly with them BUT, they are a true reflection of all the staff here, at Bahrain Intercontinental and the main reason why we will likely return next year. They are the true asset.

I had a lovely breakfast at this hotel, great atmosphere and very attentive service. A special thank you to Jewel, who was the best waiter. He was kind, professional, and made me feel very welcome. His positive energy really made the morning even nicer. And I can’t forget his giant pepper grinder, such a fun and memorable touch! 😄

It was a very nice environment, and we truly felt the spirit of Ramadan 🌙. Mrs. Jessie was very kind and welcoming, and she showed excellent hospitality. If I visit again, it will definitely be because of her warm hospitality. To be honest, the manager was also very professional and demonstrated a high level of management. I will definitely come again.

I attended a wedding tonight at the Regency Hotel. The hall was beautiful and well organized, and I really liked the buffet layout. The buffet was repeated in more than one area within the buffet hall, which made the space less crowded and allowed guests to get their food quickly and in an organized manner. However, the highlight of the hotel was the wonderful female staff, who were extremely professional, polite, and attentive. They closely observed the guests, and as soon as someone sat down after getting food from the buffet, they approached immediately—without delay—to serve juices. Later, they promptly and politely cleared used plates once guests had finished, asking if we were done with our meals, all under the supervision of professional supervisors. It was clear that they were excellently trained, which added a beautiful touch to the event. Thank you, Regency Hotel.
