In 1950 The Bahrain Hotel was opened by the late Amir of Bahrain HRH Sheikh Salman Bin Hamad Alkhlifa. Bahrain hotel was very famous in the 50s and 60s and early 70s in the Arabian Gulf and the middle east for all the Gulf Sheikhs and high dignitaries and businessmen from all around the Arabian Gulf and the middle east who used to visit Bahrain during the said years.
