Since its inception in 1967, Gulf Hotels Group has strived to deliver the highest standards of product and service in an ever changing world. The Gulf Hotel - the Company’s first property - was also the first five star hotel in Bahrain and almost forty years later, still remains the market leader in hospitality services on the Island.

The construction of the 2,200 seat Gulf Convention Centre in 1997, proved GHG’s commitment to the MICE market and provided Bahrain with a world class conference and meeting facility.

In 2000, GHG established the Gulf Hotels Management Company to undertake the management of hotels and catering operations on behalf of investors. This division has operated the highly successful catering facilities at Riffa Golf Club, Bahrain’s only international standard golf course from 2000 until the closure of the course in September 2007..

In 2004, Gulf Hotels Group undertook their first international venture, managing the 100 room Ocean Paradise Resort, Zanzibar, which has quickly established itself as a major force in the country’s tourism industry.

Meeting new demands has always been a challenge the Company has faced positively and in 2006, GHG opened its first luxury serviced apartments, the Gulf Executive Residence.

Gulf Hotels Group has a wealth of experience in operating first class hospitality operations and can offer owners and investors very competitive fees for the management of their ventures, with the commitment to provide the best financial return for their investment.
