Hawthorn Suites by Wyndham will be expanding into Africa with the opening of its newest extended-stay hotel – the 108-room Hawthorn Suites by Wyndham Abuja in Abuja, Nigeria, the country’s capital city.Owned and operated by Abuja Shelter Suites and Hotels Limited, the hotel is also the first Wyndham Hotel Group property to open in Nigeria.

Hawthorn Suites by Wyndham, brand senior vice president, Bill Hall said: “The extended-stay offerings of the Hawthorn Suites by Wyndham brand continue to see interest outside of North America, which is evidenced by the brand’s small but growing international footprint. This newest hotel is a fine addition to our portfolio and will provide international travelers with both spacious accommodations and a host of modern amenities.”

The newly renovated Hawthorn Suites by Wyndham Abuja is located at 1 Uke Street, less than a kilometer from the Abuja International Conference Center and the National Arts and Culture Center.

Property highlights include free high-speed wireless Internet access, complimentary hot breakfast buffet, business and fitness centers, shuttle service and swimming pool. A full-service, on-site restaurant is also available, specializing in a variety of international cuisines.

In addition to this newest hotel, Wyndham Hotel Group currently has a portfolio of more than 10 hotels throughout Africa under its Days Inn, Ramada and Wyndham Hotels and Resorts brands.
