Located at the crossroad between two major highways with easy airport access, the hotel will be the first high-rise tower in Ikot Ekpene as well as the city’s first purpose-built internationally-branded hotel.
The hotel will offer Sheraton Four Comfort beds and free bottled water in the rooms, and complimentary Wi-Fi in all public areas.
