Ghana: The signing of the Residence Inn by Marriott Accra Kotoka Airport marks the debut of the extended-stay brand in the country.
Projected to open in 2023, the 12-storey Residence Inn hotel will consist of 160 suites with separate living, working and sleeping zones, all equipped with fully functional kitchens. Other facilities in the hotel will include three food and beverage outlets including a rooftop bar, a health and leisure club and a boardroom.
A franchised property, the hotel will be managed by Yamusah Hotels Management Company Limited, the owner and developer of the property.
The property was one of three new Marriott signings across North and West Africa – the other two were a St Regis in Marrakech, Morocco and a Four Points by Sheraton in Monrovia, Liberia.
“New and established markets across North and West Africa continue to present us with immense opportunities to further enhance and diversify our portfolio in the continent,” said Jerome Briet, chief development officer, Middle East and Africa, Marriott International. “The new deal signings further strengthen our robust development pipeline, which is a result of our long-established presence in Africa and the trust owners have in Marriott International and our compelling portfolio of diverse brands.”
