Hawthorn Suites by Wyndham Expands to Africa with Nigerian Hotel

– Hawthorn Suites® by Wyndham today announced its expansion into Africa with the opening of its newest extended-stay hotel: the 108-room Hawthorn Suites by Wyndham Abuja in Abuja, Nigeria, the country’s capital city.

Owned and operated by Abuja Shelter Suites and Hotels Limited, the hotel is also the first Wyndham Hotel Group property to open in Nigeria.

“The extended-stay offerings of the Hawthorn Suites by Wyndham brand continue to see interest outside of North America, which is evidenced by the brand’s small but growing international footprint,” said Bill Hall, Hawthorn Suites by Wyndham brand senior vice president. “This newest hotel is a fine addition to our portfolio and will provide international travelers with both spacious accommodations and a host of modern amenities.”

Property highlights include free high-speed wireless Internet access, complimentary hot breakfast buffet, business and fitness centers, shuttle service and swimming pool.
