The Regency Inter-Continental in Bahrain has reopened its Al Rifaa ballroom following extensive redesign, as part of the hotel's major renovation programme.

The new-look ballroom features opulent decor in a rich palette of gold, accented by Mediterranean inspired hues of blue and turquoise, perfect for large business gatherings, exhibitions, banquets, and corporate meetings.

The pre-function area in rich marble also features a VIP majlis, set in a sunswept area with gleaming window-walls and luxurious fabrics in vibrant hues of red.

"The A1 Rifaa prides itself on providing the most comprehensive and up-to-date information technology infrastructure and is able to ensure each conference has access to the latest state-of-the-art audio visual presentation aids," said a hotel spokesman.

The new-look ballroom converts to fully equipped conference rooms and can be divided into three function rooms. Al Rifaa is particularly suited to welcome high-level international delegations and celebrity entourages requiring a high level of security.

The ballroom also provides the perfect backdrop for private banquets.
