Radisson Hotel Group has announced that its luxury lifestyle brand, Radisson Collection, will make its debut in Abuja. The move is part of the group’s strategic growth plans in the African country, where it plans to reach 15 hotels by 2025.

Radisson Collection Hotel & Conference Center, Abuja Nigeria will be a 249-key hotel located next to the Presidential Palace in Maitama District. The new-build will constitute the first luxury hotel in Nigeria’s capital. Its lodging offering will range from standard rooms and apartments to lofts and presidential suites.

As its name denotes, the property will boast a comprehensive MICE offer. Its 3,000 m² of meeting spaces will be completed with a dividable conference hall, five meeting rooms, a board room, and a pre-function area.

On the F&B side of things, the hotel will offer all-day dining, specialty, and roof top restaurants. A lobby lounge, a coffee bar, and a business class lounge will provide snacks and meals for clients on the go or in business meetings.

Its additional amenities will consist of a pool deck and bar, fitness and wellness facilities, and a nightclub.

Radisson Collection Hotel & Conference Center, Abuja Nigeria will be a 45-minute drive from Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport.

With a vast potential for significant scale, both Nigeria and its capital city, Abuja have been identified as key markets within our robust development strategy to reach 150 hotels across Africa within the next five years. It is an honour to kick start the year by introducing our beloved luxury lifestyle brand for experience-driven travellers to the city of Abuja as its first luxury hotel.
