“The Jazz Night will be coming back but for now Velvett is too small for it. In October it will be starting again. The Jazz Night is a big attraction. We do the biggest jazz night in Lagos and it will now be in the Blowfish Hotel. During the rainy season we stop it and then it comes back,” says Imad Kanaan, Founder of Blowfish Group.

“Velvett was the new baby of the group. It offers fusion and international cuisine as well as Lebanese cuisine. The grills at Velvett are really nice, the steaks and the fish are delicious. It is a lounge so it is very relaxing environment and very trendy,” says Imad Kanaan, Founder of Blowfish Group.

“Purple is something a bit different. It has seating inside and also by the pool. It has multiple cuisines; the Indian and the Thai are particularly excellent at Purple. We offer other cuisines such as continental, Lebanese and Nigerian cuisine. We have two chefs from different areas,” says Imad Kanaan, Founder of Blowfish Group.

“We have 5 restaurants with 9 different cuisines. We have La Veranda which is an Italian restaurant. It is a cosy place and a lot of the business for it comes from business lunches. It has a nice veranda that gives onto the hotel swimming pool,” says Imad Kanaan, Founder of Blowfish Group.

“Our hotel is a 4 star hotel with a 5 star service. Basically what we want to create is a home away from home feeling. We have long stay customers with us. We try to be very customisable. We know our clients very well. People come back to us,” says Imad Kanaan, Founder of Blowfish Group.
