With distinctive style and character rare in international hotels, the Novotel is built like a qasr (castle) around elegant central courtyards and is punctuated at the edges by whimsical Bahraini wind towers. It commands a wonderful view of the bay, and residents have access to their own private beach, a health club and a recently opened international restaurant.
