Press CenterThe African Hotel Report 2017 - Nigerian Hotels are the most valuable on the African mainland
Published 09 October 2017


Nigerian hotels are the most valuable hotels on the African mainland, according to the African Hotel Report 2017 that will be released at the Africa Hotel Investment Forum in Kigali tomorrow. Despite the economic problems experienced by the market in recent years that have seen values fall by 16.4% in the last two years, average values are the third highest in all of Africa, behind only the Seychelles and Mauritius, according to David Harper of Hotels Partners Africa, the report’s author. Nigeria is the most significant hotel market in West Africa, with almost 6,100 branded bedrooms across 41 hotels, with 21 brands (and 14 hotel companies) represented in 9 cities. With a population of almost 192m, growing at an estimated 2.6% per annum and with the largest economy on the continent, it is unsurprising that more hotel projects (61) and more branded bedrooms (10,313) are proposed here than in any other country on the continent. “This report shows that the hotel industry in Africa is still a very good investment, despite the cyclical nature of the property market. However, good advice is vital to help ensure you make the most of this very promising investment opportunity and avoid some of the potential pitfalls that can ensnare the less experienced hotel investor”.

AIH report. Koenig learn about your country.

samsobo24:
I saw a pics of the.rail here and it seems its almost completed

Not really. Politics is hindering the execution of the project.

samsobo24:
I mean on tv

Ok. Is the government planning to work on the monorail?

JoebieII:
WOW... omo u sabi lie o. I guess others can search Luxury Hotel Awards and be the judge

What year did transcorp Hilton hotel win the luxury city hotel category award you posted?

JoebieII:
Cairo Airport won it in 2017 for "its continuous efforts to heighten the airport’s safety procedures" (TAKE NOTE).
The awards is given in reference to improvement. It's not necessarily an award for the best in safety. Let me say it for the last time.

That does not mean, you are now better than Cairo Airport in 2018. You just got the recognition for your effort in improving safety. oga I don tire oh.. love truth na.

Past glory. We are talking about 2018. It's better because infrastructures are considered before giving that award.

Now, it suffices to say, Nigeria would have been in the better position to host the AFCON if we bidded for it.

JoebieII:
Or should we change the argument to the timing of when the infrastructures were put in place? Nigeria would still lose BADLY.

They already have an automated people mover in place in Cairo Airport. And that is great. What you called a downgrade to a light rail network to the airport. Still baffles me

Oga! You brought past glory to suit your argument.

I have been to the best airport in the whole wide world and I can tell you they have different means of transportation within the airport but the ultimate is the rail lin that will move you into the centre or nearby city after helping one to bypass traffic congestions.

You don't know anything eventhough you have travelled allover the whole wide world.

JoebieII:
you be pikin?.. I'm not posting another link/snapshot because I would get banned like my other moniker. you have the link. Be sincere and do a simple search. Everyone can search and see for themselves. Stop asking me to post another snapshot.

Go to the year in question on the Luxury Hotel award site, type Egypt, then type Nigeria. You can do that for 2017 as well.

Modified
You can also use the category as your search term, that would return all the hotels that won under that category. you can also use the type (e.g Continental, global etc) as your search term. Just play with it for some time and come back.

No Egyptian hotel won in 2018. Hard fact.

JoebieII:
hahahaha. Closing your eyes to the clear fact. Why don't u post all your snapshots of the Abuja ACI awards let's read the description. I wish you loved the truth. Unfortunately...


Go back to the luxury award link and do a simple search under 2018 awards search "Egypt"

Did Cairo international airport win ACI award in any category? N...O....NO.

What Nigeria has already done is what Egypt is about doing yet some people wan us to believe 0 infrastructure is in Nigeria.

JoebieII:
what? Luxury Hotel Awards that I just sent you a snapshot of? 4 Continental Awards in 2018!

If you are talking about World Travel Awards, I had just said Egyptian hotels got the most nominations covering more categories than any Nigerian hotel. Even in the more general category of "Africa's Leading Hotel" an Egyptian hotel got a mention. We won in the business category. And that's it.. I already posted the list. Stop pretending.

How can we confirm that was 2018? The transcorp Hilton hotel award you showed was not won in 2018 rather 2018. Stop fooling us here.

You are still relying on Google that failed to show you Fraser suites hotel won the award in the GLOBAL category. It has failed you again. Give it up.

ChrisKels:
Good thing u said the Nigerian u know bkus the Nigerian we all know is the master of abandoned projects, and is as slow as fvck in executing projects. The sin city(owerri) for instance has good enough hotels to accommodate teams to use the Enyimba stadium buh which road would they ply to Aba abi na flight dem go board? Enugu has good roads buh which stadium would they use, Nnamdi Azikiwe Stadium? And u think these things could be taken care of in 5months by this same Nigeria we know?

Hmmm ndewo nwanne mmadu

Na who tell you say Aba no get hotel? Na wa for una ooo.

JoebieII:
Let me help you Mr. forgiveness before you go to sleep. NONE

Modified

JoebieII:
You mean even with the link I gave you, you couldn't do a simple search with "Egypt" under 2018 awards?

The ACI award was given to Cairo International airport for the same reason -- the strides you have made in improving safety measures. I could be better than you in safety, but I was in the same place the previous year. just because you made drastic improvement from your previous state you can be given the award. Just a little bit of sincerity on your part will end this discussion.

I have done hence my conclusion. They don't have. Prove me wrong with captions of 2018 written boldly on whatever snapshot you get on those hotels.


Oga! If you don't know mellow. ACI safety award is one and Abuja international airport won it ahead of Cairo international airport in 2018. Meaning, it's better than Cairo international airport dwelling on past glory. Accept this fact and move on. Chikena!

JoebieII:
This is 2018.
Four continental award recognitions. How many did Nigerian Hotel get in the same year?

All those hotel didn't win anything in hotel categories in 2018 save spa and restaurants. Nothing.

Joebie:
I have posted the awards won by Egypt in 2018 already. The facts is clear.

I also listed the nominations for 2018 in another post. They didn’t win any but were in contention in most hotel categories. What does that tell you? How many nominations did a Nigerian hotel get? How many Nigerian hotels were nominated? Are u paying attention to the categories in each case?

You are still on this ACI case. Okay, did you read the description of the award Abuja airport won? It’s not neceaaarily the best airport in terms of safety but the best improved airport in safety. Are u telling me u didn’t get what I said earlier or you are simply pretending?

Show me. I know Egypt 'hotel' didn't win any of those awards in 2018 else show me. Like you said, anything 2017 down na past glory.

For your information, Safety award is one. Winning it means the best in safety. Currently, Abuja international airport is better than Cairo international airport. Fact.

We are not talking about past glory here.

samsobo24:
My Nigerians,I just watched the regents projects and infrastructure transformation in PH(garden city)

Mehn you need to see the modern schools, the road infrastructure, the parks,the state buildings and bridges.

Pleasure park,PH city is a world class park that blew my mind

The states transformation is massive, the aesthetics were glaring.The PH light rail will also make the city more advanced.

PH has a developed landmass than Nairobi, this is a fact.

Make up whatever you want from this. We are not even going to talk about airports, airlines etc.
You can either choose to believe what you want to believe or accept the truth.

Wake me up when they win one in 2018. *Yawn* I am trying to catch some sleep.

Joebie:
You had said Nigerian hotels are winning awards ahead of Egyptian hotels. That’s a lie. More Egyptian hotels have been intentionally recognized till date. There is a reason for the categories. Meaning you are making comparisons based on the category of the hotel. Fraser hotels can serve certain purposes but not all purposes. But the fact that the the hotels in Egypt covered a wider range of categories that clearly paints the picture
of who is clearly ahead in terms of hospitality. Same can be said when we move to other infrastructure. Your earlier statement was very misleading. Congrats to Fraser regardless (But what happened in 2018? Past glory)

Only small people take arguments personal and resorts to personal insults. It is clear who has an issue with self esteem from our long argument.

The Cairo international airport which u have been trying to downgrade is the 2nd largest airport in Africa and has gotten multiple norminations in the World Travel Awards. We dey talk of airport that has been in top standard for over a decade now. What reputation does Abuja airport have besides winning the best airport in terms of improvement in safety? Make we talk truth. We are still trying to get things together. These countries are ahead of us.

https://www.worldtravelawards.com/profile-306-cairo-international-airport

Since you are quick to tag Fraser hotel 2017 award past glory, is it not convenient to say Egypt's hotels are past glory? If not show me any Egyptian hotel that has won world luxury hotels award, world travel awards, etc in 2018. Let see if you will still grasp for straw.

As it stands, Nigeria's hotels are winning these awards ahead of Egypt's hotels. Gbam!

Note; I don't want restaurant or food categories awards.

Comparing ACI award with WTA is like comparing FIFA categories awards to CAF categories awards. Fela say 'no bi saaaamu category ooooo.. cati..go..... category...'

ACI award is the zenith in aviation industry. I say you no sabi anything.

Abuja won the ACI award in 2018 ahead of Cairo international airport.

Utonwanne:
Joebie and forgiveness, keep it up, am enjoying the beautiful show

Hehehe!

Joebie:
Even a Ghanaian hotel won a continental award. Another won a regional award.

Self esteem dey worri you. I swear.

Joebie:
You that know more than me Mr. forgiveness , this is the search result for Egypt. Let me see if u can comprehend this.

Cc Mickael2

Does it change the fact that you don't know anything?

Did these hotels win World travel awards?

Did they win at the global stage?

Let me see if you can comprehend at all with this snapshot.

Give it up.

Joebie:
Here we go.

Now let’s go over to the official site not a Nigerian paper reporting a hotel’s claims

https://luxuryhotelawards.com/winner/the-12-annual-world-luxury-hotel-awards-winners/?sorts%23winners-table%5Bhotel%5D=1

Now do a simple search by typing the country. Your celebrated hotel will be returned as the only hotel from Nigeria that got an award. Now look carefully at the category and the region in question. Does the region say Africa as a whole?
See snapshot below. Do a similar search for other countries and tell me what you found

The award type is regional. If you are confused by that search other countries

Cc Mickael2

You are just grasping for straw. Give it up. You don't know anything.

Seven Stars Luxury Lifestyle and Hospitality Awards, and World travel awards are different from world luxury hotels award. Transcorp Hilton won these awards at the regional level for the third and fifth year running respectively.

Like I said, give it up. You are embarrassing yourself.

Joebie:
Cc forgiveness

Who builds and maintain hotels?

I saw your attempt at copying me. This is a guy who does not realize that a large airport needs to have a means of transporting passengers from one point to the other within the airport. And you consider a light rail transit to the airport better than a means of transportation within a very large airport like the Cairo international airport. I don’t even want to post links of rankings of airports in Africa. I have wasted hours arguing with u this fellow

You don't know anything. Give it up.

tbaba1234:
We were given ample time to prepare for both Nigeria 95/99 and Nigeria 2009 but the slow pace of work by the LOC was an issue in both cases.

Now we want to give Nigeria 6 months to prepare

There are projects in Nigeria that have been in construction since 2005.

There are also some projects that starter last year and will be completed this year.

Danielnino00:
Ehn bro,take it easy.. don't drag the matter too far..

I dunno why some people will just conclude that Nigeria doesn't have the facilities to host the AFCON. its nonsense... We have hosted the afcon,U-17 and u-20 world cup,all Africa games and many other sport events within the last 20 years.. We have the facilities .
But getting our stadia ready to host this afcon within 6 months plus other things involved in organising the tournament will be difficult... We are in an election period.There's simply not enough time. Even the South African FA didn't receive the support from their government when they decided to bid for the tournament cus it's also an election year there and their economy isn't really good ATM...

So,given the current state of event in Nigeria,we can't host the tournament.. ..

The thing just dey pepper me for mind. How can dey just assume Nigeria doesn't have the facilities to host AFCON?

Anyway, I just wanted them to know we can host the AFCON based on the facilities on ground but if we say we can't due to the upcoming election, no wahala. I partially agree.

Mickael2:
I guess you are talking about the hotel part, well na his life sha

If it's about hotel, Nigeria's hotel are better. That's why they are winning awards ahead of Egypt's hotels.

Nicon hotel Abuja has won the best hotel in business category for the third time this year.

Another hotel in won international award.

John Ogu just blasted CAF

Useless rating.

Joebie:
It looks alright yes. Parts of tnew construction was already completed weeks ago. It’s not like magic happened a few days ago. But like you said, it is alright and functional,is it better than the Cairo international airport? I don’t think so

It's better.

DrLikita12:
Side note: I don't want to get involved in this argument but the Abuja airport is no longer under construction. It was recently opened to the public (2/3 days ago).
It's not the most beautiful but it looks alright. It's also functional which is what matters most I think. There's a video on FAAN's twitter page. You can draw your own conclusions.

Thanks. This report is useful.

tbaba1234:
MMA2 is managed by a private company owned by Babalakin

After renovation of MMA 1, we still had leaking roofs. Similar things happened in PH and Enugu.

The problem is not even with renovation. It is the lack of maintenance culture.

Those airports will be privatised.
