Rezidor announces the Park Inn Lagos, Apapa in Nigeria
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
The Rezidor Hotel Group, one of the fastest growing hotel companies worldwide,
announces its 7(th) hotel in Nigeria: The Park Inn Lagos, Apapa featuring 125
rooms is already under construction and scheduled to open in Q1 2013.
"Nigeria is one of our key markets in Africa and extremely suitable for our
dynamic mid-market brand Park Inn by Radisson. We are already developing a Park
Inn in Lagos, Ikeja and have also established the brand in Abuja and Abeokuta",
said Kurt Ritter, President & CEO of Rezidor.
Lagos is one of the most dynamic hotel markets in Africa - but still lacking
internationally branded hotel rooms as a result of a surging economy buoyed by
high oil prices and high barriers to entry limiting hotel development. Apapa is
the major port of the city of Lagos and has a high concentration of businesses
related to shipping and petroleum.
Besides 125 guestrooms, the new Park Inn will comprise an all day dining
restaurant, a sports bar, 330 m(2) of meeting space, an outdoor swimming pool
and a fitness centre. The surrounding area is heavily landscaped and park-like,
which a major advantage in Lagos.
Rezidor has identified the emerging markets of Africa as a focus area for future
business development; the group currently has the largest pipeline in Sub-
Saharan Africa and develops its core brands Radisson Blu (upper upscale) and
Park Inn by Radisson (mid market) across the continent. Future openings include
hotels in Addis Ababa/Ethiopia, Lusaka/Zambia, Kigali/Rwanda and
Tete/Mozambique.
