The Tallest Hotel In West Africa

At 100 metres high, one can see the hotel from anywhere on Victoria Island. The recently opened hotel stands tall above the skyline of the island, and is an architectural wonder on Kofo Abayomi Street, Victoria Island. With the influx of global brands like Intercontinental Hotel it is expected that there would be a turnaround for the hospitality business in Lagos and Nigeria at large. The global Intercontinental Hotel brand comes in with the needed difference that will benchmark standard in the industry. Acquiring the coveted title of West Africa’s tallest hotel, the 23-storey property is another addition to the brand’s global luxury portfolio. Known throughout the world for its awe-inspiring architecture, the hotel’s towers have already become an icon on the city’s skyline, on which Milan Group, the owning company, said it spent about $80 million. “Lagos is an important destination for The Intercontinental Hotel as one of the world’s most exciting cities offering world-class facilities and infrastructure, central location in the region and future growth potential,” said Didier Coein, General Manager, Intercontinental, Lagos. “Our expanding collection of world-class Intercontinental hotels offers accomplished travellers a one-of-a-kind luxury experience. The investment in this unique and visually stunning hotel is a testament to the continued opportunities that lie ahead for the brand and company.”
