Overview

Boutique charm and artistic flair define The Merchant House, a jewel-box hotel nestled in the heart of Manama’s cultural district. As Bahrain’s first all-suite boutique hotel, it brings a bold new energy to the city’s luxury landscape—intimate, design-driven, and richly layered in both character and comfort. The Merchant House stands just steps away from the historic Bab Al Bahrain souq, making it ideal for guests seeking to explore the capital’s most authentic and artistic corners.

Every suite here feels like a private residence—stylish yet unpretentious, adorned with hand-picked art pieces, vibrant textiles, and bespoke furniture. Spacious living areas, plush bedding, and sleek kitchenettes elevate the comfort factor, while floor-to-ceiling windows bathe the interiors in soft natural light. A curated library and in-house art collection lend the property the feel of a private club for creative minds.

The rooftop, with its elegant pool and intimate restaurant, is the hotel’s crown jewel. Overlooking the old city’s rooftops, it’s a space for slow mornings, sunset cocktails, or al fresco dinners under the stars. The service is warm, personal, and discreetly attentive, with every detail reflecting the hotel’s commitment to originality and thoughtful luxury. For travellers who value culture, style, and individuality over formality, The Merchant House is a rare and welcome find in Bahrain’s hospitality scene.
