Bahrain, 30 June 2009:  Amwaj has launched its very first hotel to preside over its majestic reclaimed islands: The Dragon, a luxury Hotel & Resort estimated at BD 22 million designed to resemble a dragon, complete with private infinity pools, magnificent seafront views, and opulent contemporary décor.  

The Dragon Hotel & Resort offers a range of lavish accommodations including suites, chalets, and immense villas all lining the water.  The accommodations are spacious with spectacular views of infinity pools set against the backdrop of the infinite sea.  The deluxe chalets have two spacious levels and consist of both three and four bedrooms.  The three-level villas all have four bedrooms and feature their own private terrace, garden, Jacuzzi, a swimming pool right on the sea, and include exclusive perks like futuristic elevator lifts. 

The Dragon Hotel & Resort was designed in the shape of a sleeping dragon, with its long neck stretching across the water to form a conical dragon-like head, reminiscent of a majestic giant watching over the great waters of the Arabian Gulf.  Its distinctive dragon scales prevail over the land, marking the hotel's most unique and iconic architectural feature.

Being the first hotel to inhabit the heart of Amwaj Islands, and just minutes away from the airport, the Dragon is creating quite a stir throughout Kingdom.  Not only will it serve as an exceptional getaway with luxurious amenities and first class services, but it will also offer a host of leisure and entertainment facilities open to the public.  The Dragon will feature two fine dining establishments and two trendy first class lounges right on the sea that will attract fashionable visitors from across Bahrain.  Visitors will also come from far and wide to relax in style at the famous UK based spa & salon Toni & Guy, the most powerful hairdressing brand in the world.

A press conference has been organized inviting media members from across the GCC to stay as guests of the hotel overnight, so that they may experience sheer magnificence of the Dragon and live to tell the tale.

Mr. Amitabh Mathur, Director of the Dragon Hotel & Resort said: "We are thrilled to launch Amwaj Island's very first premier hotel & resort.  We anticipate that the members of the media will be overwhelmed by the Dragon's unique concept and stunning modern interiors.  Every suite offers open sea views right after the water's edge of shimmering infinity pools, and most suites have their own terrace leading out to the pool areas."

"The Dragon will offer guests an unparalleled contemporary experience that they are sure to remember.  After all, how many people can say that they stayed in the 'Dragon'?," said Amitabh Mathur.
