Best Western Hotels opened in Accra and Nigeria

Best Western International Hotels has officially opened its newly-built four-star hotel in Accra near the Kotoka International Airport.

The Hotel, Best Western Premier Accra Airport Hotel, has 89 rooms and 24 suites, with each guestroom featuring free high-speed Internet access, mini-bars, flat-screen LCD televisions and bathrobes.

It is a newly-built four-star hotel located in Accra’s most affluent area, five minutes from the Kotoka International Airport.

The Hotel’s centrepiece is its five-story atrium decorated with African art. It offers a 24-hour concierge service, complimentary airport transportation and an on-site restaurant, bar and jazz club.

Best Western International Hotels has also expanded its presence in two other locations in Nigeria - namely the Best Western Island Hotel in Lagos and the Best Western Port Harcourt Hotel in Port Harcourt.

Suzi Yoder, Vice President of International Operations, said: “Best Western membership is a great option for hotel developers in Africa, who want to retain local character in their properties, yet leverage the sales, marketing and brand recognition of a strong global brand.

“We see great potential for continued growth in South Africa and sub-Saharan Africa, particularly in nations like Ghana, Nigeria and Cameroon.”

The Best Western Island Beach Hotel in Lagos, Nigeria, is also newly-constructed. The property is located in the heart of Lagos’ financial and business hub on Victoria Island’s Bar Beach, which overlooks the Atlantic Ocean.

The hotel’s 142 guestrooms and suites offer free high-speed Internet access, mini-bars and 32-inch flat-screen televisions. The hotel also offers an on-site restaurant and cocktail lounge with free breakfast and 24-hour room service.

The Best Western Port Harcourt Hotel in Port Harcourt was opened in 2008 and recently received significant upgrades that will help it earn Best Western’s “Premier” status this year.

The hotel offers 89 guestrooms and suites and meeting space for up to 200 people. On-site amenities include a restaurant, cocktail lounge, fitness centre, gift shop and outdoor pool. Guests receive complimentary high-speed Internet access and free breakfast.

Best Western International, Incorporated is the world's largest hotel chain, providing marketing, reservations and operational support to over 4,000 independently owned and operated Best Western, Best Western Plus and Best Western Premier hotels in 80 countries and territories worldwide.

An industry pioneer since 1946, Best Western has grown into an iconic brand that hosts 400,000 worldwide guests each night.

Equally committed to the business and leisure traveller, Best Western recently embarked on a mission to lead the hotel industry in customer-care.
