Top 5 Hotels in Lagos, Nigeria: Blowfish Hotel

“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.

“We have a lot of loyalty to the brand. That is very important for us. We usually have a lot of corporate clients, we still have a lot of them but perhaps because of the economic recession the plan is a bit different as the corporate side is less active. Understanding the client and complying with their needs is key for us. Until now we have been proven successful. Every month Expedia ranks the top 10 hotels that have been booked via Expedia and we are always in the top 10 and very often in the top 5 and the other hotels are all international hotels which have their brand all over and big companies will only book with them. This shows that what we are doing is hitting the right target.”
