Citiheight beckons with innovative, indulging offerings
At the last quarter of 2016, the Lagos hotel market welcomed a new entrant to its burgeoning hospitality environment. The Lagos State government, hospitality stakeholders, as well as, guests were excited at the opening, which further spiced the market with more hospitality options.
Set on a scenic location along the Sheraton-Opebi Link Road, in Ikeja, CitiHeight Hotel is an internationally inspired luxury boutique hotel built and furnished with deserving guests in mind.
No doubt, the hotel is a much more improvement on its sister hotels; Citi Lodge hotels in Abuja and Lekki, Lagos, in terms of room offering, style and target market. Right from the entrance foyer, the reception and to the guests rooms, the warmth from the well-motivated staff speaks volume of personalise offerings that await guests. As well, the stunning contemporary interiors heighten the aesthetic appeal of the recently opened hotel.
Probably that is the reason some couples now storm the hotel for their pre-engagement pictures. For the in-house guests, the hotel goes the extra mile in offering something different from what they are used to elsewhere.
From executive, deluxe and superior, the room offerings are furnished with state of the art leisure facilities featuring tea making machine, nice bed, comfortable pillows, wooden floors, enticing bathtubs among others. Besides the private entrance, the rooms also come with exceptional views courtesy of the scenic landscape of the Sheraton-Opebi Link Road.
Citiheight also heightens guests’ leisure experience with a well-equipped gym, an indulging swimming pool with life guard, and spa. Yet, the bar gathers guests after a hard day’s outing to celebrate their success, while the Executive Floor comes with a bespoke lounge (an innovation in the Citi offering) for guests who deserve exclusivity.
A visit to the restaurant ushers guests into a culinary journey that leaves them satiated. The executive chef leads his team of culinary professionals in the art of tasteful menu creation for all guests no matter their taste, health status and style.
The feat is possible with an executive chef who is a master of continental menu, and a deputy chef who is very good in local food and African varieties. But the intrigue is that the kitchen team is all indigenous hands.
The well-appointed hotel also caters to its teeming corporate clients with modern meeting and conferencing facilities. Corporate guests who have visited the sister hotels in Lekki and Abuja, will confirm the huge improvement on meeting facilities at Citiheight Ikeja.
While the hall sits between 160-180 guests, the boardroom hosts about 15 guests on result-oriented meetings.
However, the hotel’s closeness to the airports and major attractions across Lagos metropolis is its edge over many other hotels, especially those on the island. The hotel is15 minutes drive from the international airport, and five minutes drive from the local airport.
Hence, Citiheight targets deserving guests, especially the international visitors always want to stay closer to the international airport because of the gridlock and fear of missing their flights while in traffic. As well, some Nigerians who stay on Lagos island now make Citiheight their preferred choice because of its nearness to the airport.
Beyond the comfort of the cozy guest rooms, the hotel offers in-house and other guests some special treats such as Suya Night, Asun Night, live band among other quality entertainment offerings.
But while commending the management for the touch of excellence in their service and facilities offerings, credit goes to Olufemi Talabi, chairman, Citiheights for building an indigenous brand that is internationally inspired.
