Sofitel has increased its presence in West Africa with the opening of Sofitel Cotonou Marina Hotel & Spa in Benin.
Located in the economic capital of Benin and one of the most dynamic hubs in West Africa, Sofitel Cotonou Marina Hotel & Spa is placed near major sites including the Esplanade des Amazones and the Route des Pêches.
Sofitel’s expansion into Benin is part of the brand’s broader vision for Africa, a continent undergoing rapid transformation. Its urbanisation rate is the fastest in the world, with booming cities becoming economic and cultural hubs. By 2050, its population is expected to double to over 2.5 billion, with an increasingly young and dynamic workforce. The rise of the middle class and the increase in domestic and regional tourism highlight the considerable potential for investment in hospitality.Guests at Sofitel Cotonou Marina Hotel & Spa will enjoy a variety of high-end amenities, including five bars and restaurants offering an international culinary journey. Each of the 198 rooms, including fourteen suites and five duplex suites with private pools, offers views of the ocean and the city.
As a market leader, Sofitel is committed to strengthening its position in key African cities. The Sofitel Cotonou Marina Hotel & Spa marks Sofitel’s 16th hotel on the continent and sets the stage for continued growth.
” A pioneer of French luxury hospitality for 60 years, Sofitel today embodies refined and committed luxury, combining French elegance and a strong local presence,” said Maud Bailly, General Manager Sofitel, MGallery, and Emblems. “I am delighted to announce the opening of this first Sofitel in Benin, where I hope that each of our guests will discover the magic of the French art of living, enriched by Beninese culture.
The property also features a 1,000-square-metre spa in partnership with KOS Paris, offering wellness treatments that fuse local and Parisian influences.
