I found an update from February from a company involved in the work, with photos:

It says they were 80% done at that point.

More than 5 years for a hotel renovation is a feat.
In fairness, the Waldorf Astoria New York is at 7 years and counting.

It opened on December 19:

It's effectively a brand new hotel, all they kept of the old hotel was the steel structure of the main hotel tower, and even that had all the zig-zag balconies sawed off.

As always, James Luckard is right - the hotel does exist.

Let’s talk about the new Sheraton - if you’re looking for modern, you’ll find it here - here are my impressions and photos:

Pros:
  • Upgraded before arrival to an Executive Suite
  • Design is light and modern (well, minus the bathroom - it’s dark) - it feels very new Sheraton
  • Bed is great - plush mattress, plush covers, plush pillows
  • Great views all around, especially of the Bahrain World Trade Centre
  • Living room couch was comfortable
  • Cute box of baklava provided as welcome gift
  • No issue with 4 PM late checkout
  • Evening lounge service from 5:30 to 8 had good red velvet cake as dessert
  • Breakfast offered in lounge or restaurant without welcome gift choice - restaurant breakfast taste was very nice - great cheese omelet and French toast made-to-order, good cardamom coffee, machine coffee for other beverages was strong and good for a machine, good hashbrowns and cheese samosas

Neutral:
  • Attached mall has lots of empty stores and those that exist are low-traffic boutiques for fashion
  • Some of the folks at breakfast service could be more proactive as I had to go up to someone to place my order after waiting a bit and you can’t order at the kitchen itself (even for an omelet)

Cons:
  • Shower pressure was not good
  • Shower door did not prevent water from getting out
  • Lack of accessible outlets by the bed - have to unplug alarm clock or phone to get an available bedside outlet
