marketplace RAMADA BAHRAIN
Fresh Look A series of new projects are on the agenda as this famous Adliya landmark welcomes a new general manager. Ramada Bahrain is set to start 2015 with a fresh look and Matthias Hellweg is at the helm of a series of revamps. As the property’s new general manager, Matthias is spearheading a refurbishment project that aims to make the hotel more “vibrant and welcoming” for visitors. “The New Year will see the company’s vision develop with a number of upgrades to Ramada Bahrain,” says Matthias. “There are plans in the pipeline for a facade upgrade in addition to a ‘back of the house’ project, both of which are scheduled for summer in 2015.” The hotel recently opened its revamped main lobby that boasts a more chic and contemporary look. This was part of the first phase of renovation in which the swimming pool and mini-gym were also modernised. The property is equally popular with families and business travellers and benefits greatly from its central location, the company says. “The majority of our guests are repeat guests, and they will all certainly benefit from the improvements,” he adds. “In addition we are promoting our guest loyalty programme, Wyndham Rewards. It covers more than 7, 600 properties worldwide and offers a choice between accumulating ‘Wyndham Reward Points’ or earning frequent flyer miles on our partnering airlines.” According to Matthias, Ramada’s service culture is the key element to its past and continued success with guests. “Even though new properties continue to enter our segment, we are confident that our personalised and
flexible service coupled with competitive pricing will continue to set us apart.” he says. Call 17 742-000.
