First rate hotel services provider, Hilton, has announced plans to build a mega hotel at the Murtala Muhammad International Airport in Lagos state as plans to expand its presence in Nigeria.
In a press release issued on Tuesday, Hilton said it has signed a management agreement with Quality Inspection & Testing Services Limited to open a 350 guest-room and suite hotel at Lagos’ Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Nigeria.
The hotel, which was signed at AHIF 2016 in Rwanda, is set to open in 2023 and joins Hilton’s growing African portfolio of more than 80 properties trading or in the development pipeline, which will see Hilton more than double its presence across Africa in the next 3-5 years.
The hotel will be situated within close proximity to Ikeja, as well as the passenger terminals at Murtala Muhammed International Airport, which service travellers flying to hundreds of destinations around the world.
It will comprise 350 guest-rooms, of which 72 are suites, an Executive floor and multiple food and beverage outlets, including an international restaurant and a hip night bar. The hotel will also feature a spa and fitness centre.
“With a population of more than 16 million, Lagos is the seventh-fastest growing city in the world and the second largest in Africa, with much of the nation's wealth and economic activity concentrated here,” said Patrick Fitzgibbon, senior vice president, development, EMEA, Hilton Worldwide.
“Strong growth is forecasted in both domestic and international travellers using Murtala Muhammed International Airport, so this exemplary new hotel will be well placed to meet traveller’s needs, offering an unparalleled level of design, comfort and service," he added.
