AFTER a strong year of business, Elite Hospitality group in Bahrain will participate at this year’s Arabian Travel Market (ATM) to continue to spread the message of safety & security in Bahrain.
Sarosh Aibara, general manager of the hotel says, “Our primary goal is to convince our clients that Bahrain is back on track and we’re safe for business and for leisure.”
“2011 has been a better year in terms of business over 2010. 2012, too has taken off on a high note with the Bahrain Grand Prix returning to the island. The race has generated a lot of excitement and expectation after its absence last year. Overall bookings have been strong.”
Elite Hospitality, one of the largest accommodation providers in Bahrain, currently operates four suite hotels and three residences with over 1,000 rooms across the island. The latest addition to their portfolio was the brand new Elite Crystal Hotel, which opened late last year.

Aibara added, “Our key source markets are primarily the GCC leisure markets, meetings and sports group. We’ve also our residences typically perform better due to long staying guests.”
“We’re well poised in the market due to our unique all suite concept and constantly upgrading our existing properties to ensure we offer the best for our clients.”
Last year the company retired a number of its older properties as it prepared to launch others in replacement. “There are definite plans to increase the number of properties in Bahrain and you’ll see more of us in a year’s time or less,” added Aibara.
Moving forward the hotel plans to introduce some super deals this summer, running until the end of September across its four hotels the Elite Crystal Hotel, The Elite Resort & Spa, The Elite Grande Hotel and the Elite Seef Residence & Hotel with rates starting at BD42 ($111) for a one-bedroom suite.
