Novotel Abidjan Marcory Opens in Côte d'Ivoire

Novotel Abidjan Marcory

Novotel Abidjan Marcory, located in the Marcory area, has opened its doors. This contemporary 17-story hotel has been thoughtfully designed to fulfil the demands of professionals and families, with flexible areas and uplifting experiences. Located 10 minutes from Félix Houphouët-Boigny International Airport and near the Plateau business centre, the hotel provides business and leisure travellers access. It offers 201 rooms, including 10 suites, where business and relaxation coexist.

The design of the room interiors, inspired by the design studio Sundukovy Sisters, incorporates well-being into unique ‘co-living’ spaces that encourage social interactions. These interiors harmonize beautifully with the overall architectural vision of Claude Missir. Dining areas, designed by Joanna Pera Duvocelle, enhance the experience with elegant spaces and refined culinary offerings.

True to Novotel’s ethos of balanced living, the hotel offers spaces that inspire meaningful family moments and energize professionals. From intuitive rooms to entertainment and wellness offers, every detail has been thought out to guarantee a unique experience. The "Your Time, Your Way" concept encourages guests to shape their experience with flexible working spaces and amenities to recharge and refresh.

The culinary experience at Novotel Abidjan Marcory features LIVA, the signature restaurant on the 11th floor, offering contemporary Mediterranean cuisine with panoramic views over the city. The outdoor terrace invites extended conversation, while L'Escale, the cigar lounge, offers an exclusive setting for cigar and cocktail enthusiasts. LIVA Pool, the pool-bar area, promises a relaxed atmosphere for those seeking to rebalance. The Novotel Abidjan Marcory facilities include a 24-hour fitness centre with equipment and an outdoor pool. The hotel offers three meeting rooms for business events. The Sirocco room accommodates 300 people and provides a setting with Mediterranean touches.

Jérôme Rotrou, General Manager of Novotel Abidjan Marcory, explains: "Today, Abidjan is the regional economic hub of West Africa. The city is experiencing rapid growth and boasts extensive infrastructure with additional developments underway, such as the future metro near the hotel. With the opening of Novotel Abidjan Marcory, we aim to offer quality accommodation and create the perfect balance between work and relaxation, enabling our guests to make the most of their stay, whether for business, pleasure or a mixture of both. With our facilities, such as the LIVA restaurant, L'Escale, the cigar lounge, the fitness centre and outdoor pool, we aim to offer every visitor a refreshing experience."

Paul Stevens, Director of Operations for Accor in the Middle East, Turkey and Africa, in charge of Premium, Midscale and Economy brands, adds: "The opening of Novotel Abidjan Marcory marks an important milestone for Accor in Sub-Saharan Africa, demonstrating our commitment to creating modern, inspiring spaces in key hubs such as Abidjan. This project embodies our vision of hospitality rooted in local needs and focused on excellence. We are particularly proud to welcome over 200 Ivorian talents to our team, showcasing our dedication to community development and skill-building.”

The launch comes as Côte d'Ivoire gains traction as a top destination in West Africa, supported by initiatives like the government’s "Sublime Côte d’Ivoire" program, which aims to increase tourism’s GDP contribution to 10% by 2025. Novotel Abidjan Marcory is set to play a key role in this growth, welcoming a diverse mix of travellers seeking comfort, connection, and flexibility.
