The Marriott Hotel, Ikeja is a 251 room/key Hotel located in Ikeja GRA on a ±7,000sqm site that can be accessed from Oba Aladejobi Street and Joel Ogunnaike Street. It is a 7-story Upscale hotel developed by Sifax Group. Similar to the Marriott in Victoria Island, Marriott Ikeja was also designed by G1 Architecture, however, Dori Construction and Engineering are the main contractors. Sifax Group hosted a groundbreaking ceremony for the Marriott Hotel Ikeja in August 2014 and completion was in May 2021.
The Hotel is full service, with facilities including a lobby with retail outlets, ballroom, and pre-function catering for 800 - 1,000, executive lounge, business center with meeting, seminar, board rooms, 3 - 4 food and beverage outlets including all-day dining, specialty restaurants, and a rooftop club/bar. Other leisure features include a spa, gym, fitness club as well as and outdoor swimming pool, and deck area.
Hotels nearby in the Marriott portfolio include the Protea Hotel Select in Alausa, Ikeja ($245/night), and the soon to open Africa Pride Hotel on Isaac John Street which is also in GRA. Other international hotels in the immediate area include the longstanding Sheraton Lagos ($312/night).
The supply of international standard hotels in Ikeja, especially the more affluent GRA region, is currently limited, and this has continued to attract investment attention for the area. As noted earlier, hotels in the Ikeja area serve the demand for customers that require proximity to the airport, such as aircrews and transient guests. Being the seat of the Lagos State Government, as well as the home for industrial estates and other businesses, there is enough commercial activity to sustain a thriving hotel market.
