Hilton’s Nigerian Portfolio is Surprisingly Low

The count of Hilton Group’s existing portfolio of hotels in Nigeria is surprisingly low considering that they currently rank fourth for existing hotels in Africa with 46 hotels across the continent, according to W Hospitality. Currently, Hilton Group’s hotel pipeline in Africa ranks third with 67 hotels consisting of 12,427 rooms behind Marriott International and Accor. While the details of the pipeline hotels are yet to be shared, we are expecting a few more additions to the Nigerian market.
