The Ritz-Carlton, Bahrain, hosted a formal ceremony during which a pledge of loyalty and allegiance to His Majesty King Hamad and its people was signed.
The ceremony was attended by International Hotels Establishment director and a representative of the owners, Yamil Santiago and general manager Bernard de Villèle, members of the hotel’s Guidance Team and from various departments.
“Since 1783, Bahrain has been guided by its visionary leadership,” said Mr de Villèle. “As of 2026, for 243 years of history, Bahrain and its people have welcomed the world with open arms, drawing strength from a rich heritage to become a beacon of diversity, tolerance, hospitality and cultural enrichment.
“Through the wise leadership, together with the spirit of its citizens and residents, Bahrain has successfully preserved its cherished traditions while embracing progress.
“Its world-class infrastructure, advanced healthcare and educational institutions, and commitment to safety and security have made the kingdom one of the most inspiring places in the world to live, work and thrive.”
Mr Santiago added that Bahrain was ‘truly a second home’ to all of the expatriate ‘ladies and gentlemen’ staff members that work alongside their Bahraini colleagues.
“It is a nation that has welcomed people from around the world with warmth, respect and opportunity,” said Mr Santiago. “We remain deeply committed to supporting its continued growth and prosperity, and we are grateful for its wise leadership that continues to guide the kingdom towards lasting peace, progress and unity.”
