But Why is the CBN building more buildings, when they can't maintain what they have already built?
Na wa for Naija administrators.

What is that on the image?!

spyder880:


Enugu is a very huge city, although this style is not so popular in the city, we have a lot of adaptations and even some buildings that may look more sophisticated than this building. Most of the housing estates in Enugu has a good number of unique architecture inside them. Are you planning to 'import' and plant this building in Enugu soon?

I really drove round the block....

By His Special Grace,
If that your plot work out, I can give this picture to an architect to design something similar on the outside.
It looks simple enough but with a little touch of colonial architecture. I also like that the structure is not square or rectangular and has the colonial appearing window rain shield.

I'll like a type of duplex where only master bedroom, living room, kitchen and store is downstairs. Upstair will have two rooms on either side of the house with their own toilet and bath. The important design for me is that one can see the living room or palour once they come out of the upstairs bedrooms. And the bedrooms on the right and left side of the house is linked by a bridge overlooking the living room downstairs. Like the design in the Pics. showing the upstairs staircase and "link bridge" to the upstairs bedrooms from the living room downstairs.

Comparing the first two pictures of Hotel Presidential below to the last two pictures of Hotel des mille collines, You can easily see from the pictures that to upgrade Presidential hotel to look like Hotel des mille collines will not be hard for those in the hotel business who know what is needed.

Perhaps, the only slightly difficult step will be the physical renovation and re-painting of the edifice. Especially to change the old design iron-bar balcony railings into a glass railings as they did with Hotel des mille collines in the picture to give it a modern 21st century look.Actually, the best approach would be to install new rug in the entire hotel and discard most of the antique furniture after the re-painting is completed.

The State government simply isn't into hotel business and just cannot do this. It is better to sell this iconic hotel to an international hotel group to do the magic transformation required or for government to complete the renovation and hold only 40% share in order to allow hotel management experts to manage the new hotel as a business to prevent it's rundown again.

I was loving this post until i saw this:
"It is better to sell
this iconic hotel to an
international hotel group"

International investor should build new projects rather buying alreay made stuff from govt on cheap price.
I have no doubt in my mind that great Enugu or Southeast investors can tranform this building into world class hotel...These guys arent that difficult to locate. I really like the daring nature of Tony Elumelu who is currently building lots of wonderful projects in Northern Nigeria and constructing the best hotel in Portharcourt . We could really learn lots from OBJ on how to nuture our local investors.

The location of this hotel is superb. Opening to two major roads, the presidential road and Rangers avenue. This hotel will enjoy good patronage if well managed. But who can buy this and make a good job of turning it around among our local investors? is there any such individual with such capital and expertise?

spyder880:


You know how I do my own things, I always look well before I say things. I circled this hotel, passed that back gate near the filling station on Rangers avenue and there was no sign of life there, the gate was slightly ajar, but no signs of any little activity to show me that anyone has ever passed through the gate in days. If they are working, there should be trucks, men moving around and maybe some materials visible.

I will try and enter inside next time, after all I am a part owner of the property, this is my state.

It is unlike any other Nigerian city. It is clean, organized, free of the chaos of a typical Nigerian city and lots of greenery driving around the rolling green hills which surround the city.

Golden Tulip Hotels group with many great hotels have entered Nigeria and already have hotels in Abuja, Lagos, Benin, Asaba, Awka, and Ibadan.

I am sure they will like such an edifice in the heart of Enugu to manage.
