Works by local artists, over 200 palm tree varieties, and bespoke furnishings set a sophisticated tropical scene at La Maison Palmier, our first member hotel in Central and West Africa. Opening in April 2022, the property is a leafy oasis, woven into the residential enclave of Les Deux Plateaux, where both locals and travelers alight.

reate warm and welcoming atmospheres. Custom carpets in rich reds and greens pair with wood paneling and bespoke furniture. Bathrooms are spacious and light-filled, accented with cream- and sage-colored tiles and elegant Art Deco-influenced faucets. Beyond the Standard Rooms are the Superior Rooms, which offer ample space and lush garden views; Junior Suites with separate sleeping and living rooms, as well as a guest bathroom; and Signature Suites, the grandest rooms on offer, each of which boasts distinct dining, living, and sleeping areas, a guest bathroom, and in some, a balcony. All rooms—and public spaces—are also adorned with photographs and sculptures by artists from the Côte d'Ivoire.

Next to the pool and a covered terrace are Le Bistrot Palmier and Le Bar. Much like the fact that all building materials were sourced from within the subregion, the restaurant too uses local ingredients to create contemporary French and international cuisine. Dishes like a fresh palm kernel salad can be enjoyed alongside classic and inventive drinks, including "February 30," the hotel's signature green-based, natural cocktail.

There is also an onsite fitness center outfitted with state-of-the-art equipment and yoga mats, and with personal trainers on request, as well as The Studio which is available for private events of up to 60 people. Whether The Studio is arranged like a boardroom or a banquet hall, the space emits a stately vibe—reflecting the embassies nearby—and offers a breathtaking view of the hotel's outdoor spaces.

La Maison Palmier is located within the upscale residential neighborhood of Les Deux Plateaux in Abidjan, a city known as the Ivorian economic capital. In addition to the many embassies, within reach are also a variety of coffee shops, boutiques, and restaurants. Plus, the city's central business district is only 15 minutes away by car.
