Accor debuts in Namibia
French-owned, global hospitality group, Accor, has taken over management of Safari Hotels & Conference Centre, a two-hotel complex in Windhoek. This is the first property in Namibia to join the group’s portfolio.
The hotel complex, which is next to Eros Airport and just ten minutes from the city centre, comprises the 215-room Safari Court Hotel and the Safari Hotel, which has 199 rooms.
Both hotels will be upgraded and rebranded at a date yet to be communicated. The Safari Court Hotel will be redefined as an upscale brand and the Safari Hotel as an economy brand in the group’s portfolio. The upgrades, which will be conducted while the properties remain open, will span the entire complex, and improvements will include the addition of new dynamic dining venues and hospitality concepts.
Dean Ogilvie, GM said: “Safari Hotels & Conference Centre is a landmark property, synonymous with Namibian hospitality, and its transition to a branded hotel complex under Accor’s expert management and new visionary ownership will capitalise on its facilities, location and reputation to realise its true potential.”
The hotels’ facilities include a conference centre with 16 venues, one of which is a 1 600-sqm ballroom catering for up to 2 400 delegates. The hotels also offer swimming pools, a selection of dining venues and a fitness centre.
