Gulf Hotels Group BSC is a public limited liability company quoted on the Bahrain Stock Exchange which was incorporated in 1967, under the name of Bahrain Hotels Company.The vision of the then Bahrain Hotels Company back in 1967 was to provide a standard of hospitality unrivalled on the Island, which was duly delivered with the opening of Bahrain's first five star property, the Gulf Hotel. Some forty years later, this philosophy remains the same although the Gulf Hotel has changed beyond recognition, continually expanding and upgrading to meet the modern day demands.In 1975, the then Bahrain Hotels Company acquired the beverage distribution company "Vinsales", later to become Gulf Cellar and more recently rebranded as Gulf Brands International.The addition of the 2,200 seat state-of-the-art Gulf Convention Centre in 1997, located adjacent to the Gulf Hotel is a clear example of the Company's commitment to meet the needs of the International MICE market.2004 saw the Group expand outside Bahrain with the opening of the Ocean Paradise Resort in ZanzibarThe Gulf Executive Residence was opened in March 2006, providing 97 luxury apartment suites to further diversify the company's portfolio within the market.In 2011, the Group's third property, the K Hotel in Bahrain opened its doors and quickly established itself as the leading four star hotel in the Kingdom.2010 saw Gulf Hotels Group acquire a major shareholding in restaurant operator, Bahrain Family Leisure Company, cementing the Gulf Hotels Group's excellent reputation for its ability to profitably manage a broad portfolio of hospitality related businesses.
