Hilton Bahrain City Centre Hotel and Residences has appointed Hassan El Wahidi as its general manager ahead of its highly-anticipated opening.
Mr El Wahidi is a veteran hospitality leader with over 35 years of experience spanning the Middle East, Europe, and Africa, including key leadership roles in complex mixed-use developments and major properties such as Hilton Doha The Pearl Hotel and Residences and Hilton Salwa Beach Resort and Villas.
The new property, strategically located in Seef District adjacent to City Centre Bahrain, will introduce a new extended-stay and short-stay concept to the kingdom. It features 594 residential-style studios, suites, and penthouses, all equipped with fully-equipped kitchens.
“Leading Hilton Bahrain City Centre Hotel and Residences is both an honour and an exciting responsibility,” Mr El Wahidi said. “This property is not just another hotel – it is designed as a destination where sophistication meets the comforts of home, setting a new benchmark for hospitality in the kingdom.”
The development includes four restaurants and lounges, multiple swimming pools, a spa and wellness centre, and Kids and Teens Clubs, offering sweeping views of the city skyline and the Arabian Gulf. The hotel’s location is ideal for business and leisure travellers, close to Bahrain Financial Harbour and The Avenues Mall.
Hilton Bahrain City Centre Hotel and Residences is part of ‘Hilton Honors’, the award-winning guest loyalty programme for Hilton’s 25 world-class brands.
