has announced the signing of 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.
“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.”
The hotel will be situated within close proximity to Ikeja, the capital of Lagos State, as well as the passenger terminals at Murtala Muhammed International Airport, which service travellers flying to hundreds of destinations around the world.
Mr Sam Iwuajoku, Chairman and CEO of QUITS, said: “The signing of the agreement to open Hilton Lagos Airport is testament to a period of exciting growth and development for Lagos. Our plans to build an exceptional hotel at the international airport will revolutionise the traveller experience and also offer a state-of-the-art choice for conferences, meetings and events. We look forward to a very successful collaboration with Hilton Worldwide on this outstanding development.”
Hilton Lagos Airport will comprise 350 guest-rooms, of which 72 are suites, an Executive floor and multiple food and beverage outlets, including; a restaurant serving international cuisine; a speciality restaurant; a fashionable rooftop cocktail bar; and a hip night club. An elevated pool deck, with lavish gardens and a striking horizon pool overhanging the side of the property, provides breath-taking views of the surroundings and a unique leisure experience for an airport property. The hotel will also feature a spa and fitness centre.
Business travellers and event planners will benefit from a wide
choice of professional facilities across the 2,600sqm event space,
including a 1,350sqm ballroom and 500sqm junior ballroom.
“Hilton Lagos Airport will further solidify our presence in Nigeria and be a great asset to our Hilton Hotels and Resorts properties trading or under development in Africa,” said Jim Holthouser, executive vice president, global brands, Hilton. “We have great confidence in this growing market and are proud to be pioneering exemplary guest experiences across the continent with our range of Hilton brands.”
Hilton is set to more than double its presence in Africa in the next three to five years to more than 80 hotels and is focused on further development prospects across the continent, entering new countries while also growing in areas with an existing Hilton presence.
This signing is in addition to the recent signing of Legend Hotel Lagos Airport, Curio Collection by Hilton, also with QUITS, with an additional 76 guest rooms to be added, bringing the room count up to 130-keys. These properties represent the two most recent hotels signed at Lagos Airport in some time. The Curio hotel, due to open during 2017, will be the first within the airport environment giving guests and airline passengers alike unrivalled ease of access to the airport’s facilities.
