Екo Hotels Tоur

Having eaten some Yam porridge at Sweet Sensation, a popular Nigerian fast-food, I came to visit the Eko Hotel, an absolute machine for receiving and introducing businesspeople, filmmakers, air Stewards, wooden sculpture traders and a great number of other people of all colours, religions and food preferences to each other and to West Africa. First time whilst in Nigeria, I don’t feel special. I have agreed to conduct some further work here, however for the start I was kindly given a tour of the place (which occupies an entire district of Victoria Island!), almost got lost in the presidential suite, and made the following observations:
– It is not as segregated from the street as much as I thought. The cars are checked and people are visually scanned by the front gates, however unless looking extraordinarily suspicious people wonder in

– Eko Hotel is a green and modern part of the city with its roads, street trade points, gardens and other facilities. there is active and diverse pedestrian traffic along the hotel’s internal roads.

-The main reception area is external but comfortable, with a slight draft from the ocean

– hotel has its own fire-fighting and police department, as well as a clinic with Asian doctors

– 4 hotel buildings + 4 buildings owned by Total oil (2 operational + under construction)

– Colossal elements of combined infrastructure serving the four on-site hotel buildings; including AC chillers, laundry, food storage and the power generator which I am yet to see

– 7 restaurants including one with view over the new Eko Atlantic city which is being built on reclaimed land, also Italian restaurant with Italian manager

– Flexible-size meeting rooms and auditoria accommodate between 5 and 5000 people; many of these use folding partitions made of laminate panels (such as Trespa in the UK)
