Ibis Styles Celebrates Abidjan's Vibrant Spirit With Two Dynamic Hotel Reopenings
Abidjan – ibis Styles marks 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 African urban culture, blending urban art, Afro-fusion gastronomy, and innovative design.
At the heart of ibis Styles Plateau and ibis Styles Marcory is a tribute to Abidjan's urban culture. Each hotel has been redesigned to offer a setting where modernity blends with the vibrant colors and authentic textures of Africa in both architecture and gastronomy. Each hotel offers a distinctive atmosphere, reflecting the city’s creative energy and the unique cultural identity of Côte d’Ivoire.
The hotels are thoughtfully designed to foster comfort and creativity, with 190 rooms at ibis Styles Plateau and 135 rooms at ibis Styles Marcory. The interiors 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.
In collaboration with Ivorian artist Dadi (Nuits Balnéaires), bespoke artworks and designs adorn the guest rooms, enriching the cultural experience for visitors. These creative collaborations align with the brand's ethos of celebrating local artistry.
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 comfort, WOJO enables everyone to find a balance between productivity and well-being.
The reopening of ibis Styles Plateau and ibis Styles Marcory coincides with the 50th anniversary of ibis, which encompasses the ibis, ibis Styles, and ibis budget brands. The brand recently launched its global "Go get it" campaign, encouraging travelers to see the world with purpose and travel with intent. The milestone reaffirms ibis Styles’ mission to democratize travel with affordable, design-forward stays that reflect the evolving needs of modern travelers.
