Redefining Ivorian Hospitality: ibis Styles Revitalizes Abidjan's Plateau and Marcory Districts

ibis Styles, the design-focused economy brand, has marked a new chapter in Ivorian hospitality with the reopening of its hotels in the Plateau and Marcory districts of Abidjan. Following extensive renovations, ibis Styles Plateau and ibis Styles Marcory are now open, offering a unique immersion into the city's vibrant urban culture, blending African art, Afro-fusion gastronomy, and innovative design.

Celebrating Abidjan's Creative Spirit

At the heart of these two hotels is a tribute to Abidjan's urban culture. Each property has been redesigned to offer a setting where modernity seamlessly blends with the vibrant colors and authentic textures of Africa, both in architecture and gastronomy. The hotels reflect the city's creative energy and the unique cultural identity of Côte d'Ivoire. The interiors of the hotels celebrate African urban aesthetics, with each space radiating a playful, unapologetically fun spirit. Guests can savor the city's celebrated street food traditions at the hotels' restaurants and admire contemporary art in common areas transformed into rotating art galleries showcasing the works of local talents.

Fostering Creativity and Comfort

Designed to foster comfort and creativity, ibis Styles Plateau offers 190 rooms, while ibis Styles Marcory has 135 rooms. In collaboration with Ivorian artist Dadi (Nuits Balnéaires), bespoke artworks and designs adorn the guest rooms, enriching the cultural experience for visitors. Both hotels also introduce two new WOJO coworking spaces, offering flexible, inspiring environments for entrepreneurs, freelancers, and remote workers. With an atmosphere conducive to creativity and well-being, WOJO enables everyone to find a balance between productivity and relaxation.

Celebrating Local Talent and Sustainable Development

The reopening of these hotels reflects ibis Styles' commitment to local talent and sustainable development. By working closely with local suppliers and artisans, and creating career opportunities for Ivorian youth, the brand plays an active role in supporting Côte d'Ivoire's economy and hospitality sector. "The reopening of ibis Styles Plateau and ibis Styles Marcory not only elevates the hotel offering in Côte d'Ivoire, but also provides a new perspective on modern hospitality connected with the destination," said Paul Stevens, Chief Operating Officer, Premium, Midscale & Economy Division, Middle East, Africa & Türkiye at Accor. As Côte d'Ivoire positions itself as a prime destination in West Africa, attracting over two million visitors each year, the reopening of these ibis Styles hotels further strengthens the country's appeal, offering business and leisure travelers experiences that blend modern comfort with a creative spirit.
