The Le Meridien Grand Towers, Ikoyi project which has been driven within a very precise aspiration, is a new addition to the Lagos ongoing hotel and hospitality sector boom.
The idea is to create two towers of 15 storeys high landmark hotel and residential tower as an icon in the skyline of the Lagos bay, and this will provide the most luxurious accommodation in the city.
The position of the project is in the heart of the prestigious Ikoyi Island. From a certain height of the building, the occupants will have views on both sides overlooking the Lagoon. It aims to combine a modern architectural expression with more classical formal elements and layouts.
Although the two towers are similar in their architectural style, they have different facades, each adapted to the functions they house. The two towers are sitting on the podium.
The podium houses all the entrances, receptions, function halls, support services and amenities necessary for this top class complex. Both have three regiments: a base, a middle portion of the tower, and a top.
Le Meridien Grand Towers will have 271 suites divided in 5 different suite size categories: the King Suite, the Twin Suite, the Suite, the Diplomatic Suite and Visitors’ rooms (attached to other suites).
Added to these, there will be 46 smaller rooms that form part of the four Suites located at the end of the two West wings of the Hotel. This brings the number of keys to 317.
Its VIP floors and services will rival any world-class accommodation, thus making Le Meridien Grand Towers Hotel the top accommodation in Lagos.
