Hilton Bahrain yesterday announced the launch of a new electric vehicle (EV) charging station, providing a convenient and eco-friendly amenity for both hotel guests and visitors to the property’s restaurants and cafes.

To inaugurate the new EV charging station, Hilton Bahrain has partnered with Hilton’s global partner, Mclaren.

The very first vehicle charged at the new station was the McLaren Artura, Bahrain’s most recent McLaren model.

“This partnership with Hilton Bahrain is an exciting opportunity to showcase our commitment to sustainability and the future of mobility,” said Steven Rothwell, McLaren Bahrain’s Sales Manager.

Located in the hotel’s parking area, the new EV charging station is available at no cost for use by anyone staying at or visiting the Hilton Bahrain.

This is in support of Hilton’s global Travel with Purpose strategy, the company’s comprehensive Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) programme focused on driving responsible hospitality worldwide.

“Sustainability is a core pillar of our operations at Hilton Bahrain, and we are continuously exploring new ways to integrate environmentally-conscious practices throughout our hotel,” said Tamer Farouk, General Manager of Hilton Bahrain.

The high-powered charging station installed at Hilton Bahrain is capable of fully replenishing the battery of most electric vehicle models in 4-6 hours.
