I am delighted to announce the opening of this first Sofitel in Benin, where I hope each of our guests will experience the magic of the French art of living, enriched by Beninese culture.
I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to everyone who contributed to the opening of this flagship, which also marks our commitment to expanding on the African continent, a market with immense potential", says Maud Bailly, CEO of the Sofitel, MGallery and Emblems brands.
Located just 5 minutes from Cotonou international airport in a 29-hectare natural park, a vast green space in the heart of the city, the hotel has 198 rooms with exceptional views of the ocean and the city, including 14 suites and 5 Duplex Suites with a private pool.
To bring the French zest that sets the Sofitel brand apart, four bars and restaurants will open over the period from September to December 2024.
