The project with Inter-Afrique Holdings Ltd was recognised by its chairman, Kwame Nyantekyi-Owusu, and Mark Willis, CEO Middle East & Africa, AccorHotels.
Speaking about the new property, Mark Willis, said: “This agreement is an important step towards expanding our network in Sub Saharan Africa and demonstrates our dedication to developing the most distinct hospitality concepts, including Pullman Living, our compelling extended stay solution in the premium market.”
Mark Willis, CEO Middle East & Africa, AccorHotels and Kwame Nyantekyi-Owusu, chairman of Inter-Afrique HoldingsPullman Accra Airport City will offer 214 hotel rooms and suites, and 149 serviced apartments. The new-build, upscale hotel is within a commercial hub and is expected to become a major venue for conferences and events with seven meeting rooms, dedicated banqueting facilities, in addition to being located just a few minutes away from Kotoka International Airport. Furthermore, it will feature two restaurants, pool bars, two swimming pools and landscaped areas.
Willis added: “Pullman Accra Airport City will solidify our presence in a country where we already operate an Ibis Styles as well as the Mövenpick Ambassador Hotel Accra and combined with the latter, our foothold in the premium segment is reinforced with a complementary and prime location in Airport City.
