Bahrain has a surprisingly large SPG portfolio for such a small island -- there's a Sheraton reasonably close to the actual city center, and then there's a Westin and Le Meridien near the City Centre mall. The Westin and Le Meridien even share amenities, so it's interesting just how huge their presence is there.
For my two night stay I decided to book the Westin, which cost 90BHD per night (~$240). That's not cheap at all, but the alternative was paying 12,000-16,000 Starpoints per night (this is a Category 5 SPG property), so it did seem like the better deal.
The taxi from the airport to the hotel took about 15-20 minutes, and traffic wasn't bad at all.
