Hotel Review: Ritz-Carlton, Bahrain.
Whenever I travel solo I like to stick to hotels I trust, and hotels I know will take good care of me. Having been a Marriott member for a number of years I’ve stayed at their properties all over the world, and therefore they are my go-to choice when travelling alone! When I decided to tag Bahrain onto my Dubai trip last October, I didn’t really know too much about the island or main city of Manama, so I booked in at the Ritz-Carlton Bahrain and ended up having the best little solo trip!

It all started when I exited the airport and was shown to the Ritz-Carlton’s gleaming white Maserati Quattroporte. I’ve always loved cars – I used to go to classic car shows with my Dad when I was a child and created a ‘car wish list’ at the grand old age of twelve – so my jaw-dropped and it was pretty much a dream come true to ride in a Maserati. I’ve wanted a Maserati ever since I was eleven years old and saw a bright red one next to us at our local petrol station, so my trip was already made as soon as I got in the car!
The Ritz-Carlton Bahrain is just a short drive from the airport, in the Seef district in the main city of Manama. The resort itself is ideal for those looking for a secluded hotel close to the main attractions – the private beach and lagoon are perfect for a relaxing holiday, yet the resort is just 4km from the famous Bahrain Fort, and 9km from the Bahrain National Museum.
My 495 sq ft Club Room was a comfortable and contemporary space with beautiful views over the hotel’s pool and beach area, and it even had a large walk-in wardrobe for my suitcase full of clothes! There was a sofa for relaxing if you need to escape the heat, and they kindly left the most incredible handmade white chocolate squares which I obviously scoffed as soon as I saw them!
