A Rooftop Oasis

A rooftop oasis in the heart of Manama, visit the Merchant House for an elegant getaway.

The Merchant House hotel rooftop comes into its own at this time of year. I just love the restaurant, called Indigo, for a daytime cup of tea, getting some work done and even a few sundowners before heading into the souk for shopping.
Remember…

  1. They have valet (very handy)
  2. Have a look at the mezzanine library
  3. Take some selfies in their cool lifts
  4. Gape at the fantastic art collection sprawled over the hotel

This should be a must on everyone’s list this month. Don’t hesitate to visit this elegant boutique hotel rooftop.
