It will also be the first high-rise tower in Ikot Ekpene and the first purpose-built international hotel in the town.

"Currently, Starwood operates five hotels in Nigeria and also plans to launch five more hotels by 2017."

Starwood Hotels & Resorts president (Europe, Africa and Middle East) Michael Wale said: "Looking back to when we first opened Le Meridien Ibom in 2007, we saw an opportunity in a city with limited infrastructure; today the state of Akwa Ibom has been transformed and modernised with new highways and a local airport, while the hotel was recently selected as an SPG® Members’ Favourite."

The new hotel includes 146 guest rooms, an all-day dining restaurant, a lobby bar, 814m² of meeting and event space, a fitness centre and an outdoor pool.
