Dining

Looking for a unique taste bud experience under a zesty décor, search no further. Restaurant, bar and café at The Merchant House personally engage in giving you the premium dining feel to enjoy for one or to share.

Indigo Terrace

Fusing Mediterranean and Asian authentic delicacies to offer the finest dining experience with exceptional blends and flavors. An emphasis on sharing the dedicated chefs that combine fresh bold seasonal produce with delicate unmistakable flavors promises to leave a lasting impression. With its colourful floral British-garden inspired concept and its outdoor planted terrace, it is Manama’s most stylish downtown entertainment spot best suited for your breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Café Gray

Escape the souq and downtown Manama for a quick bite and enjoy homemade cakes, fresh coffee and juices, sandwiches and salads.

Sit amidst the lobby’s concrete columns, graffiti and contemporary art for a quick business meeting or a friendly gathering around afternoon tea.

The Library

Either for a fancy gathering sipping tea with some light bites or just to have quality time for yourself reading a book, The Library, a Premium lounge at The Merchant House, welcomes you to revel in its cosy sanctuary.

Feed your knowledge from the wide range of book collections especially curated by The Ultimate Library of Oxford, designed to bring you back to the roots of Bahrain and to enlarge your perception of the surrounding environment.

Recreation

Treatments are performed by hand, with the use of oils and other natural, organic products, to respect and not damage the body. The spa respects the guest and the environment in which we live. Wherever possible, products are sourced from ethical and sustainable sources.

Supporting local businesses, PURESPA features niche Bahraini company, Green Bar and collaborates with Spanish luxury skincare brand Natura Bissé to support beauty and wellbeing holistically.

Purespa

Spa Basics
The spa environment is one of tranquillity and relaxation. Please turn off your mobile phone.
Book treatments in advance
Please contact by phone or by email so that the hotel may accommodate your schedule.

Arrival time
Please arrive a minimum of 10 minutes before your scheduled treatment, to check-in and change.

What if I have special health considerations?
You will be asked to complete a brief profile at the start of your first visit. Please advise ahead of time of any special medical conditions, pregnancy, allergies or use of any prescribed medication, as certain treatments may not be recommended. If you have any concerns, please let the hotel know.

Staying hydrated
Recommend that alcohol not be consumed within 4 hours before, or immediately after spa treatments. After massages, drink plenty of warm water and infusions.

Cancelling my spa reservation
The treatments you select are reserved and scheduled especially for you. Please be considerate with us and do cancel your booking (if needed) at least 12 hours in advance so that other guests could also benefit from the spa treatments.

Late arrival for appointment
Arriving late will reduce the time for your treatment, lessening its effectiveness and your enjoyment. Your treatment will need to end on time so that the next guest is not delayed.

Clothing
Guests are free to bring their own clothing and accessories (swimwear, slippers, bathrobes, and so on), however the hotel do provide disposable underwear, towels, slippers,… readily available to make sure that the  guests feel as comfortable and relaxed as they can.
