Now on Privilee: : Downtown Rotana
A workout before work, a coffee between meetings, and a rooftop swim when the day is done – Downtown Rotana brings all three into the heart of Manama.
Downtown Rotana is the latest addition to Privilee Bahrain, giving Members complimentary access to its gym, rooftop pool, sauna, steam room and jacuzzi seven days a week. There’s also a 20% Member rate on spa treatments and food and drinks across the hotel’s five dining venues.
It’s a place you can work into an ordinary weekday, even when you only have an hour to spare. Come for a gym session over lunch or head up to the pool after work. If your schedule allows more time, there’s plenty to do beyond either one…
A gym that fits into your calendar
The gym at Bodylines Fitness & Wellness Club has the feel of a boutique city hotel, with floor-to-ceiling windows that bring in natural light and views across Manama. It’s a good change if most of your working day happens indoors.
Technogym and Life Fitness equipment gives you room for strength training, cardio or a shorter session between other plans. You could train before heading to the office, use your lunch break for a workout, or stop in on your way home. The hotel’s central location makes each of those options useful if you work in or around the financial district.
That flexibility is the real draw. Some days, you’ll have time for a full workout and recovery afterwards. On others, getting to the gym at all is enough. Downtown Rotana gives you a place to train close to where your day is already happening.
A rooftop pool above Manama
Head to the ninth floor for a rooftop moment. The outdoor pool sits above the streets of central Manama, with open views across the city and space to take a break from the working day below.
Come up for a swim after training, spend some time by the water during the afternoon, or return when you’re finished at the office. Around sunset, the rooftop is at its best. You can watch the light change over Manama from the pool deck, then stay for a drink at Sundeck Pool Bar.
If you’ve been looking for swimming pools in Manama that fit into a weekday, this one makes a strong case. A visit can be a quick swim, a few hours off, or the beginning of your evening. There’s no need to save the pool for the weekend.
Leave time for recovery
You can make more of a gym or pool visit at Bodylines. Privilee access includes the sauna, steam room and jacuzzi, giving you a reason to take your time after training or swimming. The facilities are in separate men’s and ladies’ areas.
There’s no need to do the same thing on every visit, either. You might come in for a workout and finish in the sauna, or make the pool and wellness facilities the whole plan for the day.
For more time out, Privilee Members also get 20% off spa treatments at Bodylines. The spa offers massages, body scrubs and facials, so you can book a treatment after a busy week or add one to a day at the pool. The gym will still be there next time.
Coffee between meetings, dinner after a swim
Privilee Members get 20% off food and drinks across the hotel’s five dining venues.
Downtown Rotana gives you places to stop throughout the day. City Lobby Lounge works for a coffee and a few emails if you’re working remotely or between meetings. Flavours on 2 is there for breakfast or lunch, while Sundeck Pool Bar keeps drinks and light bites close to the pool.
Later on, you can head to Teatro Manama for dinner or take your evening up to Alto Lounge for drinks and city views.
These options make the hotel especially useful during the working week. A morning gym session can lead into coffee before your first meeting. A lunchtime swim can be followed by something to eat. And after work, you can head to the rooftop without having to make another journey across the city.
Make it part of your week
Downtown Rotana gives you more than one way to use a day in Manama. Train in the morning, swim after work, take time to recover or meet someone for dinner. You can make a visit as short or as leisurely as your schedule allows.
Complimentary access to the gym, rooftop pool, sauna, steam room and jacuzzi is available to Privilee Members seven days a week. Add the Member rates on spa treatments and dining, and it’s a place you’ll have reasons to return to.
