“I think the hospitality culture is definitely growing in West Africa. Every day it is growing a little bit more, you see it with the big international hotels that have come in, you see it with groups like Fahrenheit Hospitality that want to come and make it their own and build a brand that is home-grown but that has all of the planning and strategic knowledge of hospitality that you would maybe get with international brands,” says Claudine Roth, GM of Loft Fahrenheit.
“I was not here when it first opened but it was welcomed to a good opening because there was already a culture of guests who like the new Maison Fahrenheit and of course their design and style are very similar,” says Claudine Roth, GM of Loft Fahrenheit.

If you want your business traveller hotel that is discrete and quiet, that would be Fahrenheit Loft,” says Kemdy McErnest, Public Relations/Booking Agent at The McErnest Company.
