Article Summary: Hilton Worldwide has opened its first hotel in Chad, the Hilton N’djamena, with 194 rooms. Located along the Chari River, it brings Hilton's African count to 37 hotels. The hotel features a range of amenities, including a health club and outdoor pool, and joins an increasing number of hotels in N'djamena, following the rebranding of Le Meridien and the planned opening of Radisson Blu later that year.

Hilton Worldwide recently announced the opening of a 194-room hotel – its first in Chad. The Hilton N’djamena is located along the Chari River, in the upmarket Sabangali district of the capital city.

The Mercure brand is owned by Accor, which also operates the dual-branded Novotel and Ibis (with 150 rooms and 102 rooms, respectively). All three hotels are located in or around N’djamena’s city center. All three hotels are located in or around N’djamena’s city center.

Kempinski, a Geneva-based luxury hotel group, also operated a 177-room hotel in the capital city that opened in 2004. However, as of January 2016, this hotel is no longer branded or operated by Kempinski.

Carlson Rezidor announced a 175-room Radisson Blu N’djamena, also in the Sabangali district. This hotel is expected to open mid 2016.
