“My perception of what is happening in the industry is that it is growing incredibly fast. I think it is almost growing too fast for the infrastructure to handle. I think that the population is demanding better quality hotels and the industry is starting to facilitate that,” says Anthony Shishler, MD of Fahrenheit Hospitality.
“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.

It is a very cool vibe here,” says Kemdy McErnest, Public Relations/Booking Agent at The McErnest Company.

There has to be a consistent brand or product that we offer throughout the group,” says West Ngcwabe, Food & Beverages – Group Manager of Fahrenheit Hospitality.
“We are a five star brand and our location benefits us predominantly by be situated next to the lagoon.”
