Celebrating the freshly refurbished new look of the hotel and speaking fondly about the success of the year end corporate VIP cocktail event, Mark Loxley, General Manager Southern Sun Ikoyi thanked guests for their continued business support and patronage of the hotel especially through the year.
Acknowledging a need for a boost within the sector, especially locally and due to the prevailing economic situation, Mr. Loxley expressed that “We are excited to showcase the recent enhancements to the hotel, and it is the perfect opportunity for our valued long-term partners and new guests to experience our dedication in delivering the Southern Sun Ikoyi signature in comfort, hospitality and brand values.”
Guests at the event were also treated to a delicious array of sweet and savoury bites, including fresh prawns, juicy steak burgers, fine wine and champagne alongside assorted cheeses and much more, as they relaxed and networked over glasses filled with finely blended juices.
Mr. Vhangani Peter Makwarela, the Counsellor Political from the Southern African Consulate General in Nigeria, who graced the event, particularly expressed great delight at the opportunity to meet and mingle with esteemed individuals from Lagos’ thriving business community.
The evening continued with the delicate tunes by a saxophonist followed by a special session of lucky prize draws, wherein guests had the opportunity to win scrumptious dinners for two, Sunday brunch for four, luxurious weekend stays at the Southern Sun Ikoyi, a Star Prize trip to sister property, Southern Sun Mayfair in Nairobi and an economy class ticket to Mombasa, Kenya.
The refurbishment has seen the addition of more contemporary state-of-the art facilitates to the hotel. The new meeting and board rooms are more spacious and twice the size of the previously existing ones and thus reaffirming Southern Sun Ikoyi’s leading position as the preferred hotel of choice for business travellers and leisure seekers alike, in Lagos.
