142 March 2015 www.bahrainthismonth.com marketplace A Luxurious Haven AL AREEN PALACE & SPA Following a series of upgrades, this luxury landmark welcomes you to its revamped premises, offering an opulent oasis in the middle of the dessert. Pierre Vasseur Saffron Keizo Al Areen Palace & Spa has undergone a major facelift, which has been attracting great feedback from the industry and an influx of new guests and visitors. Spearheading the operation is general manager, Pierre Vasseur, who has several exciting ideas for the future. “When the first phase of the property upgrade was launched, our main goal was to make sure that our guests continue to enjoy the facilities we offer,” says Pierre. “This is why the villas are being refurbished, repainted, and maintained one by one. Otherwise, we would not have been able to accommodate the increasing demand.” It’s not just the villas that have been given a new lease of life, the property has seen positive changes in its environment and facilities, such as scenic landscaping, the re-opening of the vitality pool, the newly-constructed road and night lights that decorate the main façade. The property prides itself on the staff’s ability to provide excellent service to the guests, and its tranquil ambience. Pierre has also kept a close watch on the food and beverage outlets and says guests are sure to be satisfied. “Guests can look forward to creative additions to the menus at Saffron and Keizo. For dessert lovers, there are freshly-made cakes and pastries, along with exquisite chocolate collections from our very own brand, Le Palais du Chocolat,” he says. “The hotel is also a popular destination for weddings and team building activities. With charming landscapes and scenery, our outdoor venue provides a fresh take on the traditional ballroom set-up.” Revamping the venue’s outdoor catering service is also on the agenda. Although only introduced last year, the catering service now extends to a location of your choice. “It is with great pride that Al Areen Spa is nominated as a finalist of 2015 World Luxury Spa Awards — an award that plays an important role in our continuous effort to provide the finest luxury facilities and services to all our guests,” says Pierre. Having worked at Al Areen Palace & Spa for a year, he firmly believes there is great potential waiting to be tapped. Call 17 845-000.
